There are a few requirements for the BigFix console to run on your admin machine.  I’ll discuss only one of them here.

Office Web Controls is a Microsoft Office Components requirement which allows us to display charts and graphs within the console.  It can be found here.

The installation of this requirement is relatively easy… here are my screen shots of the process:

Once the components are installed, you will need to restart your console.  But once you do, the console fills with beautiful shapes and bars.

If you have any questions about the process or would like to share your comments, please do so below.
