Installation

Deploy Splunk Universal Forwarder via the script for automation

Hello experts,

I'm trying to deploy splunk via the Nutanix calm blueprint. I could not install it successfully with LOGON_USERNAME & LOGON_PASSWORD parameters.

I was only able to install it with this powershell script.

Start-Process -Filepath "c:\_Splunk\Splunk_Silent.bat" -Wait

 

Inside the bat file

msiexec.exe /I splunkforwarder-7.3.0-657388c7a488-x64-release-64bit.msi DEPLOYMENT_SERVER="<ipadd>:8089" LAUNCHSPLUNK=1 AGREETOLICENSE=Yes /quiet

 

But when I include the LOGON_USERNAME & LOGON_PASSWORD parameters that's where the installation fails.

Hi @herberthebia,

This question may provide some pointers on troubleshooting/solving: Solved: Re: New Install of Splunk - Rollback occurs near t... - Splunk Community.

Also, is is possible that the LOGON_PASSWORD has any punctuation characters in it that may be interpreted by the cmd shell? 

Cheers,
