Bigfix Client Deploy Tool Download [VERIFIED]
Nadja Norrington
With BigFix there are multiple ways to deploy the BigFix agent. The exe installer can be scripted to install silently, we provide an MSI so you can add this to a group policy to deploy in your domain, and we also have a client deployment tool. Here are steps you can use inside the BigFix console to deploy the BigFix agent across your environment.
I like to set my relay as points to deploy the BigFix Agent inside my network. To do this open the task Install/Update BigFix Client Deploy Tool in the Bes Support site. You can take action and then deploy it as a policy action to any machines running the BES Relay Service Property like below. This will ensure that anytime a relay is stood up the client deploy tool will automatically install to make the relay a client deployment point.
Also select the client version you want to deploy. Make sure you deploy the version of your BigFix server. If you are deploying to one or any of the legacy OS make sure you select that version as your version.
So in all their wisdom the higher ups have given us Bigfix as a tool to deploy. It's not too hard to get setup and running via an ansible playbook on Linux systems (simple rpm and go) but on Windows sides they only gave me a .exe.
For remote or roaming users, deploying packages using software deployment tools requires that the target system must be able to connect to the deployment management console while on the network or, if remote, using cloud-based console, using a VPN connection, or to allow remote users to access on-premises management console through DMZ or other inbound rules.
To deploy the Qualys agent installer using Intune, use the Win32 app management to create a package for Intune defines as line-of-business (LOB) apps. To use Win32 app management, there are required pre-requisites that include Windows 10 version 1607 or later (Enterprise, Pro, and Education versions) and the Windows 10 client must be joined to Azure AD and auto-enrolled.
For organizations that do not have software deployment tools for remote and roaming end-users, Qualys has created an installer bundle utility that will wrap the Qualys agent installer and the two required installation arguments into a single installer .exe application.
