Is there a way for multiple instances of the BES console to be running at the same time? Quite often I need to have 1 console open to our QA environment, and another open to our PROD environment.

It’s unsupported, but you can just copy the console install folder to a new directory and you should be able to run them both simultaneously. Again, untested and unsupported, but I’ve seen it done before.

no luck, copied “C:\Program Files\BigFix Enterprise\BES Console” to my desktop and when launching bes console.exe, my existing BES console just flashes.

Actually, I don’t think the console lets you run multiple copies at once (it checks on startup to see if there is another instance running)…

I have the console installed on my PC and we also have it offered via Citrix. That’s one way to do it. I’ve been using it to test limiting permissions on accounts and visibility of PCs.

That’s how I’m currently doing it too, just not a fan of it…
thanks for your responses.

I had a similar question… I have the console currently installed on my home laptop for when I VPN in and connect to my work installation…
However, today I just got my license for my personal version of BigFix and I want to run the console on this same laptop and also be able to connect to my home version on a different PC obviously (but no need to do at the same time)…
So, is it not possible to use the same console to connect to two different installations?

Connecting to two different servers is easy (but you just can’t do it at the same time)… Follow the instructions here http://support.bigfix.com/cgi-bin/kbdirect.pl?id=118 to add your home deployment…
