How to deploy a Splunk Universal Forwarder through GPO and MST setup?

I have been trying to push the Splunk Universal Forwarder out to my client systems via GPO. I would like, however, to generate an MST file that:
a) Accepts the EULA and
b) sets a predefined Receiving Indexer.

Utilizing Orca.exe I have made attempts at MSTs with the following:

Under the Property Table I assigned the Property of AGREETOLICENSE the value of Yes. As for the receiving indexer, I tried both the following:
1) Create new row in the Property table called RECEIVING_INDEXER and set the value to ipaddress:portnumber and
2) Under the AdminProperties row I modified ;RECEIVING_INDEXER; to ;RECEIVING_INDEXER=ipaddress:portnumber neither of which seemed to work.

I also made sure to go to the advanced properties on my GPO to check "Ignore language when deploying this package".

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Is it works?
Could you send me the script?

Thank you!

Try RECEIVING_INDEXER="ipaddress:portnumber".

I found when I was testing deploying it via SCCM that the quotes were important.
