Silent Windows agent install 3.9.235

[Dawid Kellerman]

Hi
I am adding this in the hopes that it  would save someone time.  Another older post from Alex put me on the right track.

We are installing the windows agent with opsi a software deployment package, so a silent unattended install. The following two options are available in the manual install and not selected by default. We wanted them on and  could not see a way to select it with the silent options.

[ ]Install session agent (will run in every user session)
To see who is logged in and take a screen shot.

[ ]Install user support application (will run in every user session)
To send a application support message.

Part of our silent string:
files1\nxagent-3.9.235-x64.exe" /sp- /silent /norestart /nocancel /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /LOG "$LogDir$\$ProductId$.install_log.txt" /SERVER=netxms.xxx.com.na /TUNNEL /LOGFILE=C:\NetXMS\log\nxagentd.log /SUBAGENT=FILEMGR

The following black registry were needed especially the second dword one if that is not in no sending messages.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
NetXMSSessionAgent    REG_SZ    C:\NetXMS\bin\nxsagent.exe -c C:\NetXMS\etc\nxagentd.conf -H
NetXMSUserAgent    REG_SZ    C:\NetXMS\\bin\\nxuseragent.exe

This part was setup by the silent install.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NetXMS\Agent]
InstallPath    REG_SZ    C:\\NetXMS
ConfigFile    REG_SZ    C:\NetXMS\etc\nxagentd.conf
ConfigIncludeDir    REG_SZ    C:\NetXMS\etc\nxagentd.conf.d
ReloadFlag    REG_DWORD    0x00000001(1)
WithUserAgent REG_DWORD 0x00000001 (1)

Regards Dawid

Hi,

few notes here. First, you don't need both session agent and user agent - use agent has all the functionality of session agent.
And you can select "Install user support application" in unattended installer by adding to installer command line option

/MERGETASKS="useragent"

Best regards,
Victor

Thank you Victor!

So I will be removing all the mess I made  :-[
Then do it with the /MERGETASKS I misses while skimming thru while being in a rush..

Act in haste repent at leisure..

Thanks Again!

Dawid

P.S. The /MERGETASKS="useragent"  Worked like a charm.  Thank you!
