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/InstallaWindowsuniversalforwarderfro... for detailed instructions or the solution from this Community Champio: https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Powershell-unattended-installation/m-p/81069

Ciao.
