Silent Agent install with credentials

gvsu-rob

On our network, each server has it's own admin group; I need to add a couple hundred servers to the SAM system, but do not have access to the actual servers. My plan is to provide the agent installer, but I need to pre-populate the info for Orion Server IP, Agent Port, Username, and Password so the server admins can just run a file and not need the credentials for the Orion server. I've tried looking at the installer and supplied mst using Orca, but I'm not able to find where in the Property section to input the info.

My access to our system is extremely limited, I had to get a different admin to download the agent installer file and mst for me, so if this is documented on the server itself, I'm not able to read it; and so far today my Google-fu seems to be failing me in finding a solution - any help from the community would be greatly appreciated...

The only proper and officially supported method for creating or modifying the Agent transform is by selecting the appropriate options from "Download Agent Software" within the Orion web interface located under  [Settings -> Agent Settings -> Download Agent Software]. Any setting configured here will create a dynamically generated MST file using the options selected on this page.

Unofficially, these options can be found within 'INI_FILE_COTENT_BASE64' of the 'Property' section in Orca after the MST has been applied. The settings defined in the web interface (above) that are included in the MST have been encoded using Base64 which may be why you missed it.

To view the ascii text properties, simply copy the cell contents and paste them into a base64 decoder like https://www.base64decode.org/
