How does the BigFix agent work?

The BigFix agent is a program that is installed on a computer to allow it to communicate with the BigFix server. The agent collects information about the computer and its software, and then sends this information to the server. The server uses this information to create a database of computers and their software. The agent also allows the server to send instructions to the computer, such as installing or uninstalling software.

The BigFix agent is a small, lightweight program that is installed on each endpoint. The agent communicates with the BigFix server to get the latest fixlet (enforcement actions), download files, and run tasks. The agent also collects inventory data from the endpoint and sends it back to the BigFix server.

The BigFix agent is a software program that is installed on a computer to allow it to be managed by the BigFix console. The agent checks in with the console regularly to receive updates and report on the status of the computer. The agent can be configured to take action on items that are reported by the console, such as installing software updates or running diagnostic scripts.
