Hello,
I’m looking for guidance on efficiently distributing BigFix agents across a large number of computers. I have a few questions regarding the setup and deployment process:
- Deployment Basics:
- I understand that I need the masthead file (
actionsite.afxm) and the BigFix agent MSI (BigFixAgent.msi). My plan is to place these files in a shared folder on the local network. - How should I structure my GPO script to ensure the agents install correctly on the target machines?
- Customizing the Installation:
- Is it possible to modify the MSI to include custom configurations, such as specifying relay servers or setting up a client seeklist?
- If not directly via the MSI, are there recommended methods to automate these configurations post-installation?
- Deployment Constraints:
- Given that CDT (Client Deploy Tool) is not an option due to restricted admin shares, what alternative methods would you recommend for deploying the agents at scale?
Any advice or best practices would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
