Automated Installation and Collection Configuration v1.0

This is a tool that installs the Altiris NS Agent and then adds the local machine to specified collections.

This is a tool that can assist in distributed IT environments.

The ASDK is required to be loaded on the NS Server. It is not required on the client machines.

You can specify -c to create the encrypted configuration file or -i for the installation.

-c username password domain "AeXNSC.exe installation command lines parameters"

Click to view.

aicc.exe -c username password domain NSSERVER.MYDOMAIN.COM "-s -a ns=NSSERVER.MYDOMIN.COM
nsweb=http://NSSERVER.MYDOMAIN.COM/Altiris NOSTARTMENU NOTRAYICON OKTOREBOOT /s"

Be sure to include quotes around the command-line parameters

This creates a file called aicc.cfg in the current directory. This file is required when running with the -i parameter.

-i "COLLECTION NAME1,COLLECTION NAME 2"

Click to view.

aicc.exe -i "All Computers,My Collection,HRGroup"

Be sure to include quotes around the collection names and separate by a comma.

AICC-secure.exe is used for environments where you access the console via https on port 443 instead of http. Usage is the same.

The logged in user must have read and execute rights to the installer package located on your NS server. Locally logged in users might not have that so use your domain account.

It installs the Altiris agent using AeXNSC.exe located at this UNC path \\YOURSERVER.DOMAIN.COM\NSCap\Bin\Win32\X86\NS Client Package . Next it waits for the GUID to be created. It checks every 30 seconds for this. Each added dot represents 30 seconds. Once it is created it adds it to the specified collections and updates the membership on those collections.
