• Locking a BigFix Client means preventing it from accepting any actions that could modify its state, such as installing patches, changing settings, or running scripts1.
• Locking a BigFix Client can be useful for various reasons, such as testing new actions on a subset of unlocked computers, protecting critical or sensitive systems from unwanted changes, or complying with security policies or regulations12.
• Locking a BigFix Client can be done by using the BigFix Console, the BigFix WebUI, or the BES Client API13.
• Locking a BigFix Client does not affect its other functions, such as reporting, gathering, relay selection, or client settings2.
• The locked status of a BigFix Client can be changed by sending an unlock action, which can be done by a Master Operator or a Non-Master Operator who has the Write permission to the site where the client is subscribed14.
• The locked status of a BigFix Client can also be set to expire after a certain period of time, by using a custom action script15.
• Therefore, the only valid reason among the options for locking a computer is D. When changes or updates need to be excluded from the computer. References:

• An analysis is a custom content that allows operators to monitor and audit specific properties of the managed BigFix clients12.
• To create an analysis, an operator needs to have the Can Manage Analyses permission, which grants the ability to create, edit, activate, and deactivate analyses3 .
• This permission can be assigned to any console operator, regardless of whether they are master or non-master operators3 .
• Therefore, the correct answer is D. Only console operators with the Can Manage Analyses permission are allowed to create an analysis. References:

• The Site Administrator key is a private key that is used to perform site-level tasks such as setting global system options, editing mastheads, and administering Distributed Server Architecture (DSA)1.
• The Site Administrator key is generated during the installation of the BigFix Server, when the site administrator is prompted to enter a password to encrypt the key2.
• The Site Administrator key is stored in a file named license.pvk in the BigFix Enterprise\BES Server folder on the BigFix Server3.
• The Site Administrator key is required to run the BESAdmin.exe tool, which is used to manage the BigFix Server configuration and settings.
• The Site Administrator key is also required to create the masthead file, which is a file that contains the digital signature and configuration information of the BigFix deployment.
• The Site Administrator key is different from the Master Operator key, which is used to access the BigFix Console and create other operators.
