Hey all.
As you all know aclient 32-bit has, in order to respond to some security vulnerabilities, been updated to a newer version from the original 6.9 release (6.9.164) to 6.9.177.
It's all in the: https://kb.altiris.com/article.asp?article=41418&p=1
I have searching everywhere for a similar update to the 64-bit version of aclient.
Does anyone know anything about it?
Cheers,
Patrik
I'm sure there will be a new 64-bit client with 6.9 SP1.
Hey and thanks for answering.
I'm sure there is but this particular environment cannot due to a couple of reasons, upgrade to 6.9sp1.
Any idea on how to get an updated aclient?
Do you know when 6.9sp1 is going to be released?

I don't know of an updated 64-bit client. Not sure when SP1 will be released. You can sign up for the beta if you want.
Ok.
I'm already in the beta program for 6.9sp1 but there isn't any info about release dates.

Well you can try the 6.9 SP1 64-bit client from the beta.
Good idea but I'm in a live production environment so that is not an option.

Testing it on one client shouldn't be too much of a problem.
True, it's one live servers though so I will give this some thought before I go ahead.

You don't need to upgrade the server or even install the server portion. Just run the install and have it only extract the files. Then take the new AClient from that.
Yes, I know
I'll let you know how it went. I still need an agreement from the customer before I go ahead.
