Installation

Pre-install action. Downloading the installation package

Before installing the protection, you must get the Endpoint Protection installation package: WaAgent.msi. This installation package could be located in the Remote Desktop Management SaaS solution repository for the client in question.

Options for downloading the installation package

The installation package can be generic, specific for the client, or specific for the client and the security profile.

Depending on the option selected, the command-line arguments used may have to comply with certain specific parameters. The download options are:

Download the package from any client account and with the DEFAULT profile. Then, during installation, pass as parameter the client ID and the group ID for the client in question. This will indicate to which client the protection belongs and the relevant security profile and group.

Download the relevant installation package for each client. In this case, there is no need to indicate the client ID.

Download the relevant installation packager for each client and for each group with its security profile. In this case there is no need to indicate the client ID or the group to which the computer belongs.

Installation steps

Step 1.

Download the installation package to the desktops to protect.

Step 2.

Run the installation command in the directory where you have downloaded the installation package.

msiexec /i "WaAgent.msi" /qn <GROUP> <GUID> <ALLOWREBOOT>

The optional parameters are:

<GROUP> The group, and therefore the security profile of the computer in the client's network.

The .msi file will already have a value assigned in the download. This value can be overwritten, specifying the GROUP parameter.

<GUID> Client ID for the computer on which the protection is being installed.

The .msi file will already have a value assigned in the download. This value can be overwritten, specifying the GUID parameter.

The GUID can be found in the Installation section of the Web console, as the CUST parameter in the shortcut to the installation package

 

<ALLOWREBOOT> Lets you specify if the protection installer can restart the computer once installation is complete.

ALLOWREBOOT=TRUE ==> Allows restart

ALLOWREBOOT=FALSE ==> Doesn't allow restart

 

Examples:

msiexec /i " WaAgent.msi" GROUP=GROUP_ONLYAV GUID={81729831} /qn

msiexec /i " WaAgent.msi" GROUP=DEFAULT ALLOWREBOOT=TRUE  /qn
