Hi chanym,

There are several ways to accomplish this, assuming you have an id with administrative authority on the systems.

  1. Use the BES Asset Discovery feature to scan for all assets that don’t have a BES Client and deploy to those systems using the ClientDeployTool.

  2. Manually run the ClientDeployTool specifying the individual machine names or IP addresses of the systems you want to install on.

  3. Use a 3rd party software distribution tool to run a silent BES Client install on each system. See this KB article for silent install flags: http://support.bigfix.com/cgi-bin/kbdirect.pl?id=222

Regards,

Steve

Have you gotten it to deply?

If not, let me know, I have a script (Kixtart) that we developed back for v3 that would use PSEXEC to deploy the BES clients.
