Hi all, i am new to using this system.
is there anyway to check for if a user have their device installed the required application and if it is in latest versions, and if it is not how can I automate the process of downloading and updating them accordingly? Any tips or examples would be greatly appreciated.
That is an absolutely huge topic. Itâs one of the main points of what our product does.
Our Customer Experience team has put together a consolidated landing page linking to ⌠everything ⌠at HCL BigFIx : Social Forums | Learning | Resources | Consultation
If youâre new, Iâd highly recommend starting out with BigFix Training. Start with a BigFix 101; the Locations are references for timezones only, these are remote; but are live, and instructor-led for the most part. You may have to register several weeks out or contact your TA directly, as these FREE classes tend to fill up quickly. At worst case I think your TA can get you the materials for self-paced if you canât get into a live session (but I highly recommend a live session so you can get questions answered).
That landing page also has links to the product guides & documentation that should be helpful to get started.
