Hi,
By Active Directory path I have “attempted” to create a “black out period” basically meaning that during a specific set of hours we do not want the computers in these OU’s picking up any changes or actions from bigfix…
The locked Action seems to have worked, but the unlock action does not.
Our “Window” to allow bigfix to run actions on these computers is between 2:00 and 5:00 AM every day. Has anyone ever accomplished anything like this in bigfix?
