To create a new retrieved property in BigFix, the following steps are required:

• From the BigFix Console, select Manage Properties from the Tools menu. The Manage Properties dialog is displayed.
• You can filter the properties by using the left filter panel to select a subset of the properties to view on the right. If you cannot find what you want in this list, create a new property: click Add New, then enter a name for the property and a valid Relevance expression. This can access hardware characteristics, registry entries, and even data in specific files on the client computers.
• After you define the new property, the Clients automatically compute the value of the corresponding relevance expression and return it to the Database. Click the OK button.
• The new property will be available in the column headers of computer listings, allowing you to sort and filter on its values. It can also be used to target Fixlet actions and generate Web Reports.

• A BigFix Enterprise Server (BES) is the central component of the BigFix architecture that manages and communicates with the BigFix agents and relays1.
• The BES consists of several subcomponents, such as the root server, the console, the web reports, the web UI, and the server API1.
• The BES can support up to 300,000 endpoints in a single deployment, depending on the hardware configuration, network bandwidth, and workload2.
• The BES capacity planning document provides guidelines and recommendations for sizing and scaling the BES components based on various factors, such as cores, memory, network, storage, cloud, and concurrent users2.
• The BES capacity planning document also provides examples of typical deployments and best practices for optimizing the BES performance and stability2. References:

• 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:
