Tanium Deploy 2.0.3.0006

Release Date: 23 April 2020

Enhancements

  • Updating the Software Packages Gallery no longer requires additional configuration steps.

Resolved Issues

  • Fixed an issue where installing tools could fail while upgrading from Deploy 1.

Tanium Deploy 2.0.2.0000

Release Date: 14 April 2020

Enhancements

  • Deploy service logs on the Tanium Module Server will now be written to <TMS>/services/deploy-files/logs/deploy-service.log

Resolved Issues

  • Fixed an issue which caused job failures on upgrade from 1.x if a deployment had been recently stopped, but its software package or bundle had been deleted.
  • Fixed an issue where an endpoint may fail to import new configuration if it moved between Tanium Server or Tanium Module Server environments.

Tanium Deploy 2.0.1.0084

Release Date: 2 April 2020

New Features

  • Tanium Deploy now integrates with Tanium Trends to show Deploy charts through the Trends initial gallery (requires Tanium Trends 2.4.4 or later).
  • Added support for macOS endpoints.
  • Added support for Linux endpoints:
- CentOS 6 or later
- Amazon Linux 1 or later
- Oracle Enterprise Linux 6 or later
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6 or later

Enhancements

  • New software bundle enhancement: Latest Applicable
- When creating a bundle, the version for an included software package can be specified as “Latest Applicable”. This value will instruct the endpoint to automatically select the latest version of the software that is available in the catalog when the deployment runs.
  • New software package applicability rule: System Uptime
- Available in Requirements and Install Verification rules for software packages, System Uptime can be used to evaluate whether an endpoint has been running for more or less than the specified duration.
  • The Deploy process is started and managed using Tanium Client Extensions, which requires AV exclusions for the following paths:
- Windows: <Tanium Client>\TaniumCX.exe
- macOS/Linux: <Tanium Client>/TaniumCX
  • A new endpoint folder structure is added. Data and configuration are now stored in a sqlite database instead of in json files. Data and configuration are now located at:
- Software Management Tools Directory: <Tanium Client>\Tools\SoftwareManagement
- Logs: <Tanium Client>\Tools\SoftwareManagement\logs\software-management.log
- Sqlite database: <Tanium Client>\Tools\SoftwareManagement\data\software-management.db

Prerequisites

  • Tanium End-User Notifications 1.6.5 or later.
  • End-User Notifications and End-User Self Service are not currently supported on Linux or macOS.

Known Issues

The service account now requires the Content Administrator, Deploy Service Account, and End-User Notifications Read Only User roles, or the Tanium Administrator role. It will need to be updated unless it is already a Tanium Administrator.
