Q1

A financial institution is deploying BigFix and requires that all actions targeting production database servers be approved by a second senior administrator. The current workflow involves a junior operator creating the action, but they should not be able to deploy it directly. How can this mandatory two-person approval process be enforced within the BigFix Console?

Q2

An administrator creates a baseline to install Microsoft Office and a subsequent patch. The baseline contains two components: the Office installer task and the patch Fixlet. After deploying the baseline, reports show that the patch Fixlet action failed on all targets with a 'Not Relevant' status, even though the Office installation succeeded. What is the most likely cause for this behavior?

Q3

A BigFix operator needs to create an automatic computer group for all Windows servers located in a specific data center, which is identified by a particular IP subnet (e.g., 10.20.30.0/24). Which relevance expression would correctly and efficiently define the membership criteria for this group?

Q4

During a security audit, it was discovered that several non-master operators (NMOs) have the ability to create custom content (Fixlets, Tasks, Analyses) in the Master Action Site. This violates the company's change control policy, which dictates that only master operators (MOs) should be able to create globally visible content. Which specific permission setting for the NMO roles must be modified to prevent this?

Q5

A large enterprise with a central BigFix server and multiple downstream relays is experiencing significant replication delays. The administrator observes that the BufferDir on the main server is consistently growing, and relays are slow to receive new content. The network between the server and Top-Level Relays is stable. Which `BESAdmin.exe` command would be most appropriate to diagnose and potentially resolve issues with the server's data processing and replication performance?

Q6

An organization wants to use BigFix to track software that is not installed via standard package managers (e.g., MSI, RPM), such as portable applications or custom-compiled binaries. A custom analysis is needed to report the version of a specific application, `specialapp.exe`, by reading the 'File Version' property from the executable's metadata. Which relevance clause correctly retrieves this information?

Q7Multiple answers

You are designing a BigFix deployment for a company with a primary data center and a disaster recovery (DR) site. The requirement is that if the primary BigFix server fails, the DR server can take over with minimal data loss and manual intervention. Which BigFix feature and database technology combination is required to support this? (Select TWO)

Q8

True or False: When a BigFix client setting is configured in `clientsettings.cfg` during installation, it can be permanently overridden by a master operator deploying a task with the `setting` action script command.

Q9Multiple answers

A new team of patch administrators needs access to BigFix, but their permissions must be strictly limited. They should only be able to view and deploy content from the 'Patches for Windows' site and target only computers within the 'Windows Workstations' computer group. They must not be able to create custom content or see any other servers. Which combination of settings in a new BigFix Role will achieve this? (Select THREE)

Q10

The `_BESClient_Resource_WorkIdle` client setting controls how much CPU the BigFix client can consume when the user is determined to be idle. What is the default value for this setting?
