I am new to Big Fix, I am trying to find/create a solution or fixlet/task that will copy a file folder from a server push it client workstations then run the executable/installation file that is inside the folder. I have very limited Big Fix content development knowledge , will be attending a training class in a couple of weeks. If I could find a completed fixlet/task and just plug in my information would be most helpful.

Hello techtalk,

Welcome to the forum.

If you have not checked out the Windows Software Distribution Wizard in the Console (under menu Wizards), you can start there first.

It is designed to do exactly what you are describing.

Like Lee said easiest way is to use the Software Distribution wizard.

If you have to copy from a Server then there are 3 ways.

  1. Set up a Null Share since since BigFix uses the System account.

  2. Use run as current user.exe (which won’t work if no one is logged in)

  3. Setup file sharing through http.

edit: 4. Also you use a service account that has access to the share

not recommended

since username and passwords are in clear text.
