Is there a way to have bigfix automatically deploy any new patches to a group of systems? I have several hundred machines which are non-ciritical which I dont want to have to tell them to be patched. I want bigfix to just do it. I am willing to accept the risks.

You’ll need to set it up on a per Fixlet ID basis.

I would make sure that the operator account you use for the regenerator only has rights over the machines you don’t care about.
If you wanted to write a custom script using the platform API you could probably get the more specific behavior you’re looking for, but you’ll need to write the script.

Hey boostaz,
The actionregenerator will update a Fixlet if it changes, but it will not auto-deploy new Fixlets. When you take actions from Fixlets, you can choose to deploy them to new computers that come online, but you need to create actions from Fixlets (or groups of Fixlets) as an authorization step.
