Install View Agent via Group Policy

[Marc_P]

Hi,

Is there an MSI version of the View Agent so I can install via group policy?

Or perhaps a silent install of the .exe if there is no MSI.

It's very time consuming when upgrading the agents to latest version on our clients.

Thanks

Hi. The following post talks about using command line options to install the agent:

Particularly, here's what I posted there:

"The View 4.5 Admin Guide (), starting on page 50, gives a lot of information on command line install options, etc. It may give you some help."

Hi Marc,

We have a KB that details the command line options for performing a silent install of the Agent:

http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1019862

This applies to View 3.x and 4.x.

If you are using 4.5 we provide details on installing components with MSI command line options. There are some details starting on page 48 of this guide:

http://www.vmware.com/pdf/view45_installation_guide.pdf

There may be other sections but they should all be in that guide.

Hope that helps!
