Hello Team,
Can we install bigfix server on windows 2019. We are only going to use ILMT module on this.
Any leads will be appreciated.
Yes, 2019 is supported. https://help.hcltechsw.com/bigfix/10.0/platform/Platform/Installation/c_spcr_platform.html
ILMT/SUA was my specialty for quite a few years but it has been a while. Give this a read: https://darrylmiles.blog/2013/04/02/setting-up-ibm-endpoint-manager-software-usage-analysis-sua-2-0/
There have been many changes since, but the fundamentals are the same, as far as I know.
Honestly, most of our business came from customers that tried (and failed) to do it themselves but didn’t want to pay for IBM to do the implementation… and we where cheaper. ILMT/SUA is somewhat complex and daunting for people new to the underlying tech.
Thank you for the reply.
I see that it is supported for version 10.0 but not for version 9.5.15
Although we are going to enable only ILMT in BigFix and ILMT seems 9.2.20 seems to be compatible with Windows 2019. Does that count?
IBM LMT 9.2.20 can be installed using either BigFix v9.5 or v10.(see here).
According to this document, and this document, Windows Server 2019 x86-64 is a supported OS for both BigFix Platform 9.5.15, and IBM LMT 9.2.20.
IBM provides a Step-by-step installation guide.
Hello ,
Thanks for your response. The link which you provided says that BigFix server 9.5.15 is not supported with Windows 2019. Am i missing something ?
My apologies. I was looking at the part of the document dealing with hypervisors and supported guest operating systems.
I think if you want to use Win2019, you’ll have to install BigFix v10.0.1 (the most current available version). LMT is supported on this version of BigFix.
Thank you for your response.
We are installing BigFix v10.0.1 now with Windows 2019.
