Installation

Tasks to perform to complete a successful installation.

You can perform the following installation tasks in the Asset Discovery site:

  • Enable the Unmanaged Asset Importer Service on your BigFix server.
  • Designate specific agents as scan points.
  • Run the scan.
Note: To view Unmanaged Assets, you must have the proper permissions set through the Administration Tool. To access the tool, click Start > All Programs > BigFix Enterprise > BES Administration Tool). A user can be granted permission to view all unmanaged assets or only those connected to the Scan Points that they administer.
Note: On Linux platforms, you must install the BES Server Plugin Service to work with the Asset Discovery Fixlets. This plug-in is available on the BigFix Support site.
Note: To allow the Importer service to be installed and work correctly, ensure to keep disabled the Data Execution Prevention (DEP) and Force Randomization for Images (Mandatory ASLR) for the Exploit Protection in the Windows system.
