Installation EM Agent (Silent)

MSI QUIET INSTALLATION

The Enterprise Manager Agent can be installed in the background with the following parameters.

msiexec /i 'Matrix42 Enterprise Manager Agent.msi' /quiet EMSERVER=<servername> EMPORT=<port> RESETTASKS=1 OSD=1 START=1 INSTALLFOLDER=<Installpath>

EMSERVER

(mandatory, no default)

Has to be a valid name of an Enterprise Manager Server

EMPORT

(optional, default 9010)

The connection port to the EM Server (valid values: 1024 thru 65535)

RESETTASKS

(optional, default 0)

Indicates if all tasks of the computer should reseted in the server.

0 = no, 1 = yes

1 (YES): The local System gets a File (<Installationsverzeichnis>\Settings\ResetTaskEnabled.txt). This File is a Signal for the Agent, that the assigned Em Push- or Massrollouts will be reseted.

This is only for EM Push and Massrollout Taks, NO OSD!

OSD

(optional, default 0)

Indicates if the installation is during OSD. 0 = no, 1 = yes (Higher Priority than START)

1 (YES): The local System gets a File (<Installationsverzeichnis>\Settings\OsdEnabled.txt). This File is a Signal for the Agent, that the Agent downloads the OSD Task and excecute it

START

(optional, default 1)

Indicates if the agent should start after installation. 0 = no , 1 = yes

INSTALLFOLDER

(optional)

Here the Agent will be installed (valid values: any valid installation path),

default: "%ProgramFiles%\Matrix42\Matrix42 Enterprise Manager Agent"

 Correct parameter usage is tested as launch condition within the msi - so an empty server name or an invalid
port selection will stop the installation from working!

 MSI QUIET UNINSTALLATION

msiexec /x 'Matrix42 Enterprise Manager Agent.msi' /quiet
