Hi all,
Did anyone already used the “Remote Connector” fixlets of “Server Automation” site?
I installed the Remote Connector tool using task ID 166 “Install Remote Connector Tool for Server Automation” on a Windows Server 2016 computer (let’s call it “bigfix-client”).
Then I tried to run task ID 167 “Remote Connector Example” on “bigfix-client”, providing script target information in the Description tab of the task.
The script target is on same network as “bigfix-client”, is a Windows Server 2016 machine, on which the firewall is off.
There is no domain, all computers are in “Workgroup”.
Are there any requirements on the script target (TCP port, application, …) ?
Regards,
Arnaud
Here are the Remote Connector logs:
