I referred to the this link http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21505825
I change it to the following, from the scripting, checking is fine, but the issue is if I run this scripting without run as administrator, installation will not start, in turn of if I run this scripting as administrator, installation will go on.
Anyone can share experience on logon script to install Bigfix agnet? thanks a lot.
Logon script:
@echo off
set SERVERNAME=PC1
set SHARENAME=bigfix
if exist "C:\Program Files (x86)\BigFix Enterprise\BES Client\BESClient.exe" goto agentinstalled
if exist "C:\Program Files\BigFix Enterprise\BES Client\BESClient.exe" goto agentinstalled
if not exist "C:\Program Files\BigFix Enterprise\BES Client\BESClient.exe" goto installation
:agentinstalled
echo "Agent already installed"
exit()
:installation
echo Agent now going to be installed
xcopy /s /y /i \\%SERVERNAME%\%SHARENAME%\BigFixAgent.msi C:\TEMP\Bigfix\
xcopy /s /y /i \\%SERVERNAME%\%SHARENAME%\1033.mst C:\TEMP\Bigfix\
xcopy /s /y /i \\%SERVERNAME%\%SHARENAME%\clientsettings.cfg C:\TEMP\Bigfix\
xcopy /s /y /i \\%SERVERNAME%\%SHARENAME%\masthead.afxm C:\TEMP\Bigfix\
start /wait msiexec /i "C:\TEMP\Bigfix\BigFixAgent.msi" /T="1033.mst" /qn
This works best as a computer policy start-up script GPO:

It might be possible to do the downloads without PowerShell as well, but I didn’t investigate that. The idea is all a computer needs to get going is to know a relay it can reach to grab the masthead.afxm from and an internet connection to get the client installer. It would be possible to make the baseurl configurable and host the client installers on your own server.
Note:@AlexaVonTess 's example tests a lot more things than mine.
Just specify the FQDN of the desired relay for devices to connect to as the only parameter. Ideally this would be a relay that any domain joined computer could reach.
