MSI DEPLOYMENT_SERVER Flag not working

bmacias84 — Mon, 26 Nov 2012 22:55:57 GMT

Hello I am trying create an completly unattended installation and the DEPLOYMENT_SERVER flag doesn't seem to generate a deploymentclient.conf. All other flags seem to work just fine. Below are the varations of my ARGs.

Has anyone else experienced this



msiexec /i splunk-5.0-<version>.msi DEPLOYMENT_SERVER=splunkdeployserver.domain.net:8089

msiexec /i splunk-5.0-<version>.msi DEPLOYMENT_SERVER="splunkdeployserver.domain.net:8089"

msiexec /i splunk-5.0-<version>.msi DEPLOYMENT_SERVER=10.10.251.156:8089

msiexec /i splunk-5.0-<version>.msi DEPLOYMENT_SERVER="10.10.251.156:8089"

I do realize that the community of Windows Splunk Users is small.

Wouldn't you want to add /q to indicate you want a no-gui install? Our testing when adding this feature in 4.2.x era was with no-gui flags. If it behaves differently from 4.3, then it's a regression.

If it helps, it has been fixed and will work with the next dot release.
