Environment

NetIQ Secure Configuration Manager 5.8.2

 

Situation

This Hotfix provides enhancements for policy template and security check reports exported in Excel format. This hotfix enables Secure Configuration Manager to add details
about the security checks in the report when you export the DataView results in Microsoft Excel format. This hotfix improves how Secure Configuration Manager compiles large amounts of data in an exported Microsoft Excel report. If the returned results for an endpoint exceed the maximum number of rows allowed per Excel worksheet, Secure Configuration Manager adds additional worksheets until the Excel file includes all rows of data for the endpoint. The maximum number of rows allowed per worksheet varies by Excel version. For example, Excel 2003 allows fewer rows than Excel 2010.

Resolution

Download and apply Hotfix 73175 from our website.  This hotfix must be installed on all SCM console machines.
