Looking for latest information on Client Deployment Tools

I’m finding conflicting information about use of the Client Deployment Tool.

Is there currently a functional tool available that will deploy the BigFix client to AD Domain Member Windows computers? I have a group that needs to deploy 200+ clients and I’d rather NOT go the route of using a GPO launched script for them.

My experience is that the client deployment tool is hit or miss. It requires that the remote registry service is started, and who has that set? That default setting changed long ago.

The GPO, Computer Startup Script (not User) is best in my option because if someone uninstalls it, it will re-deploy it. I’ve shared the script we use and it is around here somewhere… Let me look.

… here we are: Logon script to install BigFix Agent
