Create Scanner Wrapper for Scanner

About this task

To use fixlets and tasks from BigFix Inventory version 11.0.1 and later with the use of existing HCL Scanner 11.0.0 and older installations, it is required to run a one-time action on all scanned endpoints "Create Scanner Wrapper for Scanner 11.0.0.0 or lower." The scanner wrapper detects the former Scanner installations and points to the appropriate scanner executable. If you decide to upgrade the scanner later, you do not need to restart the existing scanner-related actions if they are in version 11.0.1 or later.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the BigFix console.
  2. In the navigation bar, click Sites > External Sites > BigFix Inventory > Fixlets and Tasks.
  3. In the upper right pane, select 'Create Scanner Wrapper for Scanner 11.0.0.0 or lower.'
  4. Click Take Action.
  5. Select the computers on which you want to create the scanner wrapper for scanner, and click OK.
    You created the scanner wrapper on the computers in your infrastructure.

What to do next

After you create the scanner wrapper, refer to schedule software scans.
