Automatically assigning relays at client installation time

As you install clients, you might want them to automatically discover the closest relay by default. Set this up by completing the following steps:

1. Open the Edit Computer Settings dialog by right-clicking any computer in the computers list on the BigFix console.
2. Click the button labeled More Options.
3. In the Settings tab check the following settings:
   • Relay Selection Method
   • Automatically Locate Best Relay
4. Select the Target tab.
5. Click the button labeled All computers with the property.
6. In the window below, select All Computers.
7. Select the Constraints tab.
8. Clear the Expires On box.
9. Click OK.

As new clients are installed, they now automatically find and connect to the closest relay without any further action.
