5.3 Agent Switches

Hey Everybody,

Does anyone know the command line switches for the new 5.3 agent?

It looks like the only thing in the client share is the MSI.

Thanks!

Answer Summary:

Example: set KACE_SERVER=kbox msiexec /i ampagent-5.2.12345-x86 Set properties ------------------- PROPERTY=value (Must use ALL CAPS.) Example: msiexec /qn /i ampagent-5.3.32941-x86.msi HOST=k1000.kace.com Auto set host name -------------------------- rename agent_installer.msi_hostname.msi (Renames the install file to the name of the server name, which automatically sets the host name.)

If it's an MSI, then you'll have the standard msiexec parameters (i.e. /passive /quiet /norestart, etc.). To find these, type msiexec /? in command line. As far as custom MSI parameters go, I'm not sure yet - I haven't had time to dissect 5.3, and I wasn't aware it was finally released.

The built in MSI stuff works just fine.

I'm having trouble passing the server name.

Alright,

Looks like you can add "HOST=SERVER" to the end of the MSI command.

rename agent_installer.msi_hostname.msi (Renames the install file to the name of the server name, which automatically sets the host name.)

Example:
msiexec /qn /i ampagent-5.3.32941-x86_k1000.kace.com.msi



That is sneaky, I haven't seen that done before with an MSI, is that a property in the msi file that automaticly get info after the "_" ?
