RE: Silent install of agent

Hello!

Agent's installer has command line options for unattended install
(/SILENT or /VERYSILENT, combined with /SUPPRESMSGBOXES), but problem is
that it will not generate correct agent's configuration file in
unattended mode, so installed agent will not start. Currently the only
solution I see is to wrap installer into some kind of script that will
install agent silently, create valid configuration file, and start agent
service.
I will look at the installer today to see if it is possible to add new
command line parameters so all required information can be passed to
installer.

Best regards,
Victor

Subject: [netxms-users] Silent install of agent

Is there a way to silently install an the agent on a remote machine with

the sub-agents, without any interaction with the user at the other end?

Reason is, I would like to roll out the agent faster without having to
take the end user off to do the install (granted it is rather quick). I

don't want to use a domain policy to do it, as it does require some user

interaction. Maybe some options at the command line...............ie:
c:\temp\nxagent-0.2.11.exe -s --c:\NetXMS --portcheck --ping --winperf

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Sam
