Hi, I’m new to BigFix and picked up an activity to transfer files to C:\Program Files on end machines. I feel below approach should be followed. Please correct me if I’m wrong and provide suggestions accordingly.
- Upload the files to be transferred using Manage Software distribution.
- Create an action with action script as below,
// Download all specified files
begin prefetch block
add prefetch item name=<> sha1=<> size=<> url=SWDProtocol://127.0.0.1:52311/Uploads/name<>/xyz.exe.bfswd sha256=<>
end prefetch block
//create Appfolder
parameter “Appfolder” = “C:\Program Files\Win systems\software”
// All SWD files will go into a folder in the clients __BESData folder. This folder gets cleared on every restart.
parameter “baseFolder” = “__Download/”
continue if { exists folder (parameter “AppFolder”)}
// Move files into subfolders and unescape file names
move “__Download/name<>” “{parameter “AppFolder”}xyz.exe”
exit 0
Any help would be greatly appreciated
