Deploy remote access profile to clients

Remote Support and Access
1

We deploy some software to clients from our Windows Server. Most of the programs use msi, others which are exe do support unattended install using command switches

Is there a way to install unattended the exe file for Simple Help or convert it to an msi?

Yes.

Use /S then whatever other parameters you need.

Thank you for that. I don’t know how I missed that KB, as I did look through the kb for this. That is exactly what I need. I will test this out on my deployment program and see if it works.

Only problem that I can foresee is if I have any clients running 32 and others running 64 bit. Unless I just deploy both installers and the program would presumably only install on clients running the correct bit version. I am moving all my clients to W10 64 bit, but not 100% there yet.

How are you deploying?
If you are using GPO you can specify a wmi filter.
If using PDQ you can specify it in the install options.
If using a batch you can detect it using OS variables.

I use WSUS Package Publisher which is lik PDQ. All I need to do is put in the file name and any command paramaters such as S etc. Have not had a chance to try it yet because all my clients are already setup. This is for the future when we get new laptops etc.
