Configuring target properties

When a target takes part in a peer to peer remote control session, its properties determine what functions are available during the session. Target properties can be configured by creating and running a target configuration task in the IBM® BigFix® console. For more details see the, IBM BigFix Remote Control Console User's Guide. You can also edit the target properties manually.
