Installing CPM Components on the Server

About this task

After adding the mastheads to the BigFix Server, the next step is to open the console and update the CPM Server with the required components. You will need at least one relevant computer. In this case, the server to which you just added the CPM masthead should be relevant. If it is not, resolve this issue before you begin. For example, check that the server has an agent installed or that the CPM components have not already been updated on the server.
