Results

The summary screen shows the progress of the task. Broker support is installed on the targets that you selected when you ran the deployment task. The files are installed in the [working dir]\Broker directory on the selected targets. The value of [working dir] is determined by the version of Windows operating system that you are installing the broker support on. For example, C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\IBM\Tivoli\Remote Control. To use the broker support, you must set up a broker configuration for your environment. For more information about configuring the broker, see the IBM BigFix Remote Control Administrator's Guide.
