Error description

  • ILMT Documentation is not explaining clearly how to configure
    the connection to the BigFix installed on Windows. It lacks the
    information about how to properly configure the connection in
    case BigFix database is installed on a named SQL Server
    instance. The fields should be filled the same way they are in
    case of ILMT database configuration explained in point 1a in:
