Description

If you need to replace a system with a fresh client and have to replicate all the client settings of the original endpoint, this task will create a text file with the settings commands that in a task will recreate the same values and affective dates on teh new system

Any values with no Effective dates will be set with execution timestamp.

Creates a list of client settings for reuse in a task or fixlet .

The file name is "dump_of_settings.txt" and will be found in subfolder "HCL" of BigFix client's storage directory
