I have just updated the bigfix remote server and components in our environment and I am wondering what kind of configuration changes do I need to implement to use the Unattended Remote Control ?

Hello bjarnigud,

In short if you already have a Broker you just need to add one property on the Targets and change some settings on the RC server to enable the feature.

You might need to tune some settings and enable other security features depending on your requirements:
