Unattended agent installation
You must log on to an Administrator account to install a Windows agent.
You can perform an unattended installation of Windows agents using the
agent.exe or agent-windows-nt.exe executable and InstallShield and Windows
Installer commands. The following command structure shows the sequencing:
agent.exe <InstallShield commands> “<Windows Installer commands>
<installation properties>”
or
agent-windows-nt.exe <InstallShield commands> “<Windows Installer
commands> <installation properties>”
The following examples show a command string:
agent.exe /s /v”MANAGEMENT_SERVER=192.168.1.103
SSL_CERT_FILE=c:\Agent-cert.ssl
-l*v+! %temp%\SISAgentSetup.log /qn”
or
agent-windows-nt.exe /s /v”MANAGEMENT_SERVER=192.168.1.103
SSL_CERT_FILE=c:\Agent-cert.ssl
-l*v+! %temp%\SISAgentSetup.log /qn”
You create command strings by using the following:
■ InstallShield commands
■ Microsoft Windows Installer commands
■ Installation properties
