Deploy Bigfix Client through BigFix Relay

(imported topic written by Zen91)

Hi,

First, our environment is like following:

Server at Data Center (Not in corporate),

Client reside inside Corporate.

We have one Relay that have public IP address to talk to Server.

However, this is very inconvenient that when we want to deploy client inside corporate, the client not all in the domain, and somemore we not have administrator account priviledge of all other account. We follow the guide copy the client deploy tool into domain, and deploy to computer inside domain, and some other using USB drive.

I wonder if that we can deploy client right from the server through a relay? If got, how?

Thanks

Hi,

the client is deployed using an existing ability to remotely login and execute actions. If you have that, you can do all sorts of creative solutions. It sounds like you don’t have that for these systems though?

I see, so, is it means if remote login is turning on client computer, then all is possible? and then is it remote login software must be Windows component one, or any remote login software like citrix, team viewer?

Hi, it sounds like you’re confusing a couple of types of software… all we need for remote login is the ability to execute a command (think SSH or WMI), not the ability to see its screen (think LogMeIn or Team Viewer). Sometimes they use the same credentials, but they’re different tools.

We’ll need remote execution with an administrator level account and password. We don’t need to see the screen though.
