Installing Big Fix Client with ILMT on a server with existing Big Fix Client

  • 1.  Installing Big Fix Client with ILMT on a server with existing Big Fix Client

    Posted Thu August 26, 2021 12:31 PM

    Hello,

    Can we install Big Fix Client for ILMT on a server where Big Fix Client is already installed for different purpose.

    The server client would communicate with two different servers - one which is already existing and one for ILMT.

    An endpoint (Bigfix client) can only communicate to a single Bigfix server, based on the masthead (aka actionsite.afxm) file installed in the client folder.

    An endpoint can be redirected to a different Bigfix server by switching out the masthead for a different one, and then restarting the client. But that will cause it to talk to the new Bigfix server and stop talking to the old one.

    There's no possibility to have two agents installed on the same endpoint.
