I assume you mean the agent.  Not the server itself.  Right?

I don't really see the benefit of silently installing a fairly complex management platform. I would think you would want to see dialogs and\or errors, at least a progression of where you are in the process.

This is what I use:

:: if the file exists, this batch file has already been executed

IF EXIST "C:\Program files\altiris\ns7.txt" GOTO END

:: If we keep going, we know the PC doesn't have the NS7 agent installed yet so we can run clean ups first

 

"C:\program files\altiris\altiris agent\aexagentutil.exe" /clean

"C:\program files\altiris\aclient\aclient.exe" -silent -remove

:: post clean up now install agent

\\location of this file\aexnsc.exe /install /s /ns=nsservernamehere

 

:: creates the marker file for future runs as ns7 agent has been run

CD "c:\program files\altiris"

ECHO y > ns7.txt

GOTO END

 

 

:END

:: exits batch file
EXIT

simple .bat file that is called via a GPO startup script.

(Yes it could be much cleaner, but I'm not too worried at this point as its not being deployed company wide yet)

do you want both installed silently? 

Hi g00ner, did you make any progress?  I have successfully automated the installation of NS 7.0 using a config.xml for SIM.  There is a whole lot of undocumented settings that can be used in the xml (I'm still trying work out how to use some of them). You can choose to install solutions or suites depending on your needs.

I'm looking at writing an article explaining the whole thing once I get my head around a couple of settings.
