Hi Team,

Please assist me, I need to deploy a package which is mapped on a server and deploy the package to servers through Bigix Fixlet. Can I get some ideas how I can get the fixlet created? The package is for VM ware tools and its size is 117.5 MB.

Why not leverage the prefetch option within ActionScript to pull this VMware tools installer file through the BigFix infrastructure to the desired endpoints. Then move the file to a temporary directory on the endpoints and execute the installer using waithidden. There are code examples for both using the provided links.

If the VMware tools installer is an MSI package, then checkout BigFix.me for examples on how to run an MSI installer.

Likewise, you can use the Software app in the WebUI to upload the installer and it will create the corresponding deployment fixlet. All you have to do specify the install command.

You also can use Software deployment wizard to deploy the package…
