I have successfully installed the followings: BigFix-BES-Server, Console and Client. Is there any other software such as Relay or any ILMT server need to be installed?

Hi

For Big fix relay, The root server should have the minimal number of clients connecting to it so its performance will not be affected. Having multiple connections to the root server could cause issues such as problems on processing client reports. It is okay to not have relays on your current setup given the number of clients but it is still suggested to have a relay to minimize the connections to the root server. And yes you will need to have ILMT server installed.

Thanks. I will go head install Relay. Does anyone know the link for ILMT that would work with this BigFix-BES-Server that I just installed. BigFix is version that I just installed.

Hi

Can you please share with me the BES Server version and Big Fix version you have just installed?

Thanks

BigFix-BES-10.0.4.32. This is the version I installed, including console and client. Do I need to install Web UI too? Also please share the version for ILMT that I need to install. I understand ILMT 9.2 version is the latest. Please confirm.

Hi

Thank you for your reply. ILMT version is now at ILMT 9.2.24 and yes Big Fix server v10.0.4.32 is compatible with ILMT 9.2.24.

It won't let me install BigFix relay on the same server as BigFix server. Does it have to be installed on a SQL server or some other server?

Hi

Relays are designed to take over the bulk of the download burden from the BigFix Server.

Please check the following details :
