Hi All! We wanted to provide you with an update on the staged roll-outs of the most recent PC agent release. In response to customer feedback, we have expanded our internal testing to include a greater variety of configurations and environments typical of our partners' environments. These changes have produced a longer, more robust testing and roll-out process. To date, we have tested and released the agent update to more than 100,000 endpoints with no issues reported thus far.
