Tanium Deploy 2.4.212.0000

Release Date: 2 November 2020

Important Notes

The release of Tanium Deploy 2.4 uses Tanium Client Management and Tanium Endpoint Configuration (provided by Tanium Client Management) to deliver configuration and tools centrally. This new functionality combines all solution configurations into one distribution mechanism to greatly reduce the volume of actions and packages that was previously required to configure and deploy Tanium Deploy. The previously used packages and actions for delivery of tools and configurations will no longer be present. For details of Tanium Client Management and Tanium Endpoint Configuration, see the Tanium Endpoint Configuration User Guide at https://docs.tanium.com/endpoint_configuration/endpoint_configuration/index.html.

Support for Internet Explorer 11 has been deprecated as of Deploy 2.4.

Upgrade Notes

Installation or upgrade of Interact, Trends, and Tanium Client Management must be completed prior to installing Deploy 2.4 or any other module supporting the Endpoint Configuration management framework.

New Features

  • This release includes a refreshed user experience, bringing more reporting, consistency, and configurability to the forefront.
  • This release includes a new endpoint configuration framework, replacing the actions and packages formerly used to configure endpoint tooling.

  • Workbench data is now scoped to the logged in user or selected persona.
  • This release includes automatic clean-up of old or untargeted enforcements (Maintenance Windows, Deployments, Self Service Profiles).
