Using the command line to install Agent
For Windows, the OptimusHive agent downloads as a typical MSI file. As a result, MSIEXEC-using commands in PowerShell and on the command line will function normally. Following is a description of the command to use for a silent deployment. These scripts should be used in a PowerShell or elevated command-prompt window.
Important:
- Change the command code below to precisely match the installation file’s file location, unique account number, and randomly generated alphanumeric characters.
- Verify that the installation file has not been renamed and that the machine that downloaded it did not append a (1) or (2) to the end of the file. Any tampering with the installer’s name will prevent the agent from being correctly installed.
For Instance:
MSIEXEC /i C:\Users\username\Downloads\ATAcct123456_aCt1v_TRaCk1_12345678912.msi -Quiet
Install the agent quietly/stealthily:
ATAcctxxxxxx RandomSecurityToken.msi MSIEXEC /i -Quie
Quietly uninstall the agent:
ATAcctxxxxxx RandomSecurityToken.msi MSIEXEC /x -Quiet
Run the installation setup command below to enable install logs in the event that an installation fails, and then create or amend a supporting ticket with the log file attached for the team to evaluate and address. ATAcctxxxxxx RandomSecurityToken.msi MSIEXEC /i ATAcctxxxxxx Quiet /l*v% TEMP% atinstall.log
- When communicating with a distant system and wanting to secretly deploy the agent, use these instructions. These also function when using PSExec or an RMM Tool with Remote Command Line Access.
- After running, the command will be quiet and you won’t get any further notifications about it. An RMM tool or any other third-party solution you choose to employ may give you a success or failure message.
