Software Distribution

(imported topic written by FITZPAW91)

Hello

I do many Software Distribution deployments, and I sometimes have to change a file or a line of a file in the original deployment. I have to delete the original task, and recreate to include the updated file. Is there an easier way to do this.

Thanks

William

Hey William,

Are you storing all your files on a server somewhere or are you uploading them to the BigFix Server?

Hi Ben,

I am storing them all in a directory on the BigFix server, and using the Software Distribution Wizard to upload them to the BigFix server.

Well… You could remove the sha1 check in the Fixlet and update the file directly on the server, but that has downsides because the sha1 check is helpful for security as well as caching…

We have been talking a lot lately about trying to make this kind of activity easier to manage and we have some ideas that hopefully you will like…
