Hi. How are you? Wondering if anyone has suggestion how to do this. We are tasked to add the “LegalNoticeCaption” text on Windows 10 devices when the Win Logon banner…
We figure we create a action script to generate a Powershell script.
But we start running into issues, as now my requestors want to have other languages , like Chinese, Hungarian or Italian languages… ISO-8859-1, ISO-8859-2… They have different character sets and we seems having issue to place them into the fixlet action script… Does the Bigfix console supports various character sets in the action script? And if there is a way to get around this… Thank you…
@kcheung, have you considered putting the legal notice texts into a JSON or XML file and then using prefetch to deliver and applicable relevance inspectors to pull said values at run-time?
I think that may be the only way… But somehow I have to get this file to support different character-set. Not really sure what you stated deliver and applicable relevance inspector what it is really need to setup? Please explain. Thank you. Kev
To solve your problem, I think the way cmcannady suggested is the best for readability and maintenance, but just for your information, you can also use hex notation and binary_string.
If you know the hex value of desired string in UTF8, UTF16 encoding), you can include any string in your fixlet/task/action.
For example, (binary_string “e38182e38184e38186”) as utf8 string
will produce Japanese string in clients even when your BigFix server is not Japanese.
And also, BigFix has regset/regset64 and you do not need to call PowerShell to just set registry value.
akira and cmcannady,
Appreciate your input and suggestions… What akira suggested is what we were thinking to do, but what cmcanddady seems more practical and will try that… Thank you so much. Kevin
