I really wanted a way to silently install Altiris Agent on my computers. So, I hunted around until I found out how. The Notification Server 6.0 SP3 Reference (check out pages 15 & 16 for all of the details) explains how to do this. Here is the script that I used to finally get it to work:
@ECHO OFF ECHO Installing Altiris Agent aexnsc.exe -s -a ns="ServerName" NOSTARTMENU NOTRAYICON /s /NOADDREMOVE Exit
To find out what all of the tags do, please see the above mentioned documentation.
To find the "aexnsc.exe" file, go to the following location: "C:\Program Files\Altiris\Notification Server\NSCap\Bin\Win32\X86\NS Client Package" on your Notification Server.
