Looking for some details on how to embed the IBM BigFix Client in the MDT Windows 7 image we install on laptops using an ISO on USB. I have the installer in the Applications section of MDT, and can install it once I actually get to the Desktop of the newly imaged laptop. However it fails because it needs the Masthead file.
This article explains how to prepare an image with the client:
Outstanding, thank you.
Edit… Not sure this can pertain to our imaging style.
instead of using an installer from downloads.bigfix use an installer from the BES Installers (Installation Generator) folder from your BigFix server. This has the masthead alongside it and should work for what you’re doing.

We install the BigFix client with MDT currently.
Also, BigFix OSD uses MDT under the hood.
So I see the masthead along side the client installer, do I need to package them together in MDT, or have it point specifically to the masthead?
The masthead file needs to be in the same folder as the client installer when it’s run.
You can also create a clientsettings.cfg file, in the same folder, if there are particular settings you want set at install time.
