Questions on Bigfix

(imported topic written by madhav91)

Hi All,

I am new to BigFix and just started learning about BigFix. I have few questions and would appreciate if anyone can help me. Thanks in Advance.

  1. Where are logfiles stored for Bigfix server, relay and client?

  2. When server downloads files from internet like windows sp2 where does it store and what will the file name.

  3. I was reading about sha1. What is this?

  4. The cache for relay is configurable. How do we configure.

  5. How can console operator change password.

  6. how to set the frequency for server to check updates from fixlet server?

  7. Can we install a scan point on a server? Reason is I have installed BigFix only on sever and I haven’t installed clients yet. When I select " Insatll Scan point" all tasks in List Panel are greyed out.

  8. How can I specify that this computer is authorised by an operator?

  9. When installed agents on clients, I was to able to get the hardware information. Where can the list of software’s installed on that machine.

  10. Can I get the Hard disk serial numbers of every computer?

  11. We have an InHouse software which is client based. Every month, we need to update all clients with new xml file or html. Can we deploy these files using Bigfix using Tasks. If so, how can we achieve this? Do I need to place the files in a specific folder on server and write our custom action.

Regards,

Madhav.
