Migrating BigFix Client from a old to new BigFix server

Question about migrating BigFix client to a new BigFix server that has a new masthead file. I know you can run task ID 1615 to switch the client masthead, Is it possible to use a besclient config setting as well during the migration. Having to reset the clients and thier relays is a bit of a pain.

I’d be inclined to create ‘policy’ actions on the new server so that newly incoming clients would be identified as such and then run the appropriate action(s) to define the settings.

If the clients can’t directly see the new server, you could add commands to add client settings for things like _BESClient_RelaySelectFailoverRelay (or _BESClient_RelaySelectFailoverRelayList) to your fixlet

Hi,
Like trn mentioned, a custom masthead switch task can be created that will add custom client settings as part of masthead switch. It can also prompt for relays information and then add them to the task. Here is an example:
