Windows registry and c: drive directories

(imported topic written by mjcarr91)

Does anyone know what all of the BigFix registry settings and hard drive file locations are? Is there a document somewhere?

I am trying to figure out what I need to save from a machine that gets wiped every night. I can import the reg. and files the next morning.

Hi MJCarr,

All the important information is contained in two places:

  • The BES Client folder (and subfolders), which are by default at: “C:\Program Files\BigFix Enterprise\BES Client”
  • The registry key “HKLM\Software\BigFix\EnterpriseClient” and subkeys.

If you export and import the registry keys nightly make sure the agent is stopped and isn’t restarted (stop the agent before you export and start the agent after you import).
