RE: Silent install of agent

Hi again!

I have found how to add additional command line options to installer.
Now you can use the following options to made an unattended install:

/SILENT Don't show wizard, just progress bar
/VERYSILENT Don't show anything
/SUPPRESSMSGBOXES Don't ask user anything
/DIR=path Set installation directory (default is
C:\NetXMS)
/SERVER=address Set address of master server (will be writtent
to config file)
/SUBAGENT=name Enable subagent 'name'
/NOSUBAGENT=name Disable subagent 'name'

Valid subagent names are: PING, PORTCHECK, WINPERF, UPS. By default,
winperf is enabled and all others are disabled.

Updated installation can be downloaded at
http://www.netxms.org/download/agent_packages/nxagent-0.2.12-hf1.exe

Hope this helps!

Best regards,
Victor

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

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
