Years ago, someone wrote me a Stored procedure for 5.x or 6.x BES that would update a field
in the database from a VB script
Im looking for a way to update 1000’s of server properties from a list through a VB script or something
for example updating a custom property field with warranty info, or (application owner) info for each server
without touching each system, we have almost 4000 systems

You are looking to update the BigFix database by writing property data into the results table?
That is not a good idea… The property fields are expected to be written only by the BigFix Clients reporting their data through the standard mechanism and if you write data outside of this process, it will cause problems…
Perhaps you can insert the data into the open “comments” fields (which are searchable).
