Silent Installation MFT Server Agent - Windows

This section describes how to perform a silent installation of the MFT Server Agent application on a Windows platform. The part of the installation that is silenced is the user Interface (interactive portion). The installer must be placed on the target MFT Server Agent system, in a directory of your choosing

Below is a list of Windows CMD commands that will perform a silent installation. Please run them in the order in which they are listed. They can be run in a .cmd script. The script should be "run as administrator".

Command: cd\<MFT Server Agent installer location>

This command changes the directory to the location of the MFT Server Agent installer. The location depends on what directory the installer was placed in by the end-user.

Example: cd\InstallerDirectory

Command: <MFT Server Agent installer> -q -dir <Installation Directory>

This command runs the installer (executable file) and copies the installation files into the installation directory specified.

Example: mft-server-agent-install-x64-12.3.8.447.exe -q -dir "c:\Program Files\MFT Server Agent"

Note: Program Files\MFT Server Agent is the default installation directory when performing an interactive installation. You can specify a different directory, if desired. Quotes must be used when the installation directory name contains spaces.

Command: cd\<Installation directory>

This command changes the directory to the installation directory specified in the prior command.

Example: cd\Program Files\MFT Server Agent

Command: configuration.exe -host <MFT Server host/IP> -port <Agent service port number> -user <Agent username> -password <password> -rootPath <MFT Server Agent directory> -nativeProcess <allowed | disallowed>

Example: configuration.exe -host 192.163.1.59 -port 40025 -user AgentUser1 -password secret -rootPath c:\test -nativeProcess allowed

Please note port 40025 is the default port used when creating the Agent service in the MFT Server Admin UI.

Command: start_agent.bat

This command starts the MFT Server Agent service.
