You're half way here. Just take the Red Line the rest of the way down.

Got woke up by emergency calls at 4:35am and was on the phone for almost 4 hours with a customer helping with an install remotely down in Kansas.
At work by 9:00am.

Coffee.

Trying to figure out how to install MeshAgent without logging into user machines.

Im not very advanced so dont judge me

Could you write a group policy to install mesh agent and then deploy that policy, remotely without needing to log in?

You are assuming:

That I have Group Policy
That I have access to make Group Policy
That I want to even touch Group Policy

Like GPO, I have that in one place, but not all.

The only thing I have every place is ScreenConnect.

I can download the Agent easily.

I can execute it, and a MeshAgent.exe process shows up.

But nothing hits the console.

The ScreenConnect session is not a full environment. I do a lot with it, but never tried this before.

Are there commandline options that allow it to install silently? If it's not hiting your console, I'm assuming is requiring user interaction on the desktop by the default installer?

That was it.. Command line for windows was a -install and not a /install and I needed to use -fullinstall to make it work.

Installing Fedora 29 for like the 6th time... I have two different XCP-ng hosts that are refusing to install Fedora 29 correctly, both with different ISOs.

After I reboot I'm getting the grub command line. Is there some kind of new option that I'm missing??? Fedora 28 install works as expected.

If you are using the netinstall, after the install, its possible you might be having issues with the latest kernel, which is 4.20.3

Which version are using on Fedora 28 installs?
