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:

  1. Change the command code below to precisely match the installation file’s file location, unique account number, and randomly generated alphanumeric characters.
  2. 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.
