Scripting install - help
-
I'm pressed to get this done today and I'm struggling with something very simple. The issue I'm running into, is running a .msi while bypassing UAC. I've read lots of Kaseya threads (what I'm pushing from), and still coming up short.
What I'm trying to do is a simple 3 step process. Make a directory, distribute the file, install the file. It's a very small endpoint protection agent. Everything up to installing works fine. If I try and run it, nothing happens. So I went locally and noticed that installing it from C:\CarbonBlack prompted for UAC. So I went through this, while also adding a two minute pause, but it still didn't work. The pause is pretty long compared to the install, which takes about 30 seconds.
Here's a screen shot of the procedure I currently have scripted. The end is cut off, but simply says "All Operating Systems", "Halt on Fail".

Not an expert here, but does the .msi installer has /q or /silent install parameter?
Personally, I use PDQ Deploy from AdminArsenal when install applications. With correct credential and parameter it bypass UAC.

I've tried with an without /q and /silent. Same issues.
PDQ Deploy won't work, because of how fragmented their network is. I can only reach it via Kaseya because their DNS/DHCP is partially handled by their ISP. Also some of the workstations are integrated, some aren't. It's a mess.

Yep, I know @MattSpeller. I had to ask someone why stuff looked super weird. When I asked if that's how it was, it was confirmed. That client has a really shitty setup but don't want to spend the money to fix it, even after being shown the value.
Good example of seeing the value... I can't work on their other tickets right now, because I'm working on this one, which is holding up the show due to inefficiencies in the setup.

How does stuff like that even happen?
I'm going to go hug my nicely setup (if old and creaky) infrastructure now.

We took them on as a client. So whoever setup their stuff in the beginning looked like they were just lazy and careless.

Got it figured out. It was just something dumb with Kaseya. Stripped everything out and redistributed, with a 'Pause' as well, and everything processed in about 30 seconds. What a huge waste of time, but at least it works now.

Might have been a gov't organization at some point? Some places in my town were run sort of like that when they were connected up with the state.
