Updating the content of the fixlet site on Windows

If the BigFix server is installed on a Windows computer without the Internet access, use the Airgap tool to download the content of the fixlet site to a Windows computer with the Internet access.

Before you begin

You need a Windows computer with the Internet access.

Procedure

  1. Open the directory where the BigFix server is installed and run the BESAirgapTool.exe file. When prompted, save the file to a new folder, for example Airgap. An airgap request file is created.
  2. Copy all the created files to a Windows computer with the Internet access.
  3. On the computer with the Internet access, run the BESAirgapTool.exe. The airgap request file is changed into a response file.
  4. Copy the AirgapResponse file to the BigFix server and place it in the directory that you created in step 1.
  5. Run BESAirgapTool.exe. The airgap response is loaded to the BigFix server.

What to do next

Cache the files and move them to the BigFix server.
