Installation via powershell on windows

I'm sure someone here has worked on a powershell script to install splunk to different windows hosts remotely. Can I get help with that? my powershell skills are really weak.

Hi @sphiwee ,

if you don't know very well Powershell, why do you want to use it?

You can use a simple batch script or some other tool (as Ansible) or Windows GPO (surely you have a Domain Controller.

Anyway, you could see this link https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Forwarder/9.0.1/Forwarder/InstallaWindowsuniversalforwarderfromaninstaller?_gl=1*1w7f8cx*_ga*ODAyODQ0Njg5LjE3MTIyMjE5NTg.*_ga_GS7YF8S63Y*MTcxMzI0MzQxMS40My4xLjE3MTMyNDM3MjIuNDguMC4w*_ga_5EPM2P39FV*MTcxMzI0MzM5Ni40Ny4xLjE3MTMyNDM4NzAuMC4wLjkyMTAxMDI3NQ..&_ga=2.74864917.64127089.1712221958-802844689.1712221958#Install_a_Windows_universal_forwarder_from_the_command_line for detailed instructions or the solution from this Community Champio: https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Powershell-unattended-installation/m-p/81069

Hi @sphiwee,

as I said, I don't know very well Powershell, try it.

Ciao.
