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:
