For Macintosh operating systems

  1. Install the client on the computer to be imaged.
  2. Stop the client by using sudo systemstarter stop BESClient.
  3. Delete the computer-specific identifier to prevent all copies of the machine from registering with the same client ID to the server.
    • If they exist, remove RegCount, ReportSequenceNumber, and ComputerID from the client preferences folder: /Library/Preferences/com.bigfix.besagent.plist.
    • Delete the __BESData folder. The default location is \Library\Application Support\BigFix\BES Agent.

The BigFix Client is now ready to be imaged.
