Download Silent Client

I am trying to install DB2 ibm data server client(version 11.1), silent install in my windows server. i am using response file for the installation. I gave the path in response file to install in D drive, but still it is installing in C drive only. the command i was using is: msiexec /i "MSI path" /q /l*v "log file path" RSP_FILE_PATH="response file path".
I have been working on converting the Python silent install script to a PowerShell script. Its been my experience, that after converting the script to an EXE format using py2exe, it had issues running on a significant number of devices which seemed to derive from the additional imports.
Ahh I see. I suppose passing arguments to the the .exe or .msi installers cant do what you need? I only use UB for a few local clients so Im not familiar with what you are doing. I will say that you can create Chocolatey extensions (which are just PowerShell scripts) that sort of act as Chocolatey packages. I wish I could help with the PS stuff but I actually have not used REST yet. At any rate, good luck!
So if I am understanding correctly, I can still use the UrBackupUpdate.exe, however, how will the client get the settings information from the server if UrBackup had never been installed on that client before?
The UrBackupUpdate.exe install will initially attempt to find a local server for approx. 5 minutes. When it times out it will then use the Internet Server settings and search for an internet server. At which point it will connect and download all default client settings.
it's very easy and working solution to use setup.cfg, copy the changed file to folder, where is GroupWise setup.exe . Marvin has very detailed how-to on his web site GroupWise Auto Update , there is section, where is explained how to add additional client languages.
We recommend to use an Active Directory Startup script (GPO) for installing the Intercept X client on domain workstations. Please have a look at the following KBA which contains all the info needed: -000035049.
Administrators can enable silent installations. When silent installations are enabled, you can include the silent installation command in scripts to automate the process, so that you do not need to specify settings each time you perform an installation.
Looking for a solution to install netbackup 7.6 silently to an AIX box. Will use this solution to be pushed out to multiple AIX servers in the enterprise. Will use Bladelogic to push out the .tar/.gz file and need a silent install solution similar to Windows.
1b) Pre-extract, and pre-form smaller NetBackup installer kits for 'specific' OS family types (i.e. Solaris, RHEL, etc), so that you copy smaller kits - and require less disk space (temporarily) on the client.
5) If you have more than one NetBackup domain (master) then the BL script will have to somehow detect which master is to be the master for the new client - perhaps based on an IP address subnet or perhaps based upon a fragment/segment extracted from the client's 'hostname'.
9) Finally, it is possible that the install is successful, but that the client will not work due to firewall rules, or lack of routing - so maybe your BL script could perform some client to master comms test type commands too.
sdo, first, thanks for all the responses. this client can be pushed to over 50 clients. let's keep this going. i will try to install on one client manually and see if i can feed the answers from an answer file.
Yes it is. You need to use SCCM to deploy the BIG-IP component installer which has the required administrator permissions to deliver the VPN client without prompting. One installed you should be able to deploy the VPN package seemlessly on the endpoint with the right configuration.

I'm exploring options to stop Commvault Windows client services in silent mode via the command line. I have observed that the command 'GxAdmin.exe -console -stopsvcgrp All' only works when UAC (User Account Control) is disabled. otherwise, a confirmation prompt is required when UAC is enabled.
we have many servers and don't want to modify GPO each time to disable UAC, I have noticed that during the CV SP upgrade process, the Commvault services are automatically shut down in silent mode, even on servers with UAC enabled, it never prompt to confirm anything.
Out of curiosity, why the need to silently stop our services? Trying to think of a use case for this situation so if you could advise that'd be appreciated (and I can do some digging on some options you may have).
After testing the above PS command on a single Windows client, the server's UAC feature was enabled, resulting in a prompt to authorize the execution of the command. Disabling UAC allowed the command to proceed without requiring any manual intervention.
The question at hand is how to automate stop Commvault services on a Windows client via command line without disabling UAC.
thanks
I am trying to push the endpoint initial client using AD but i need the silent installation file so that client is not hamper during the installation. Is there a way i can install the client in the silent way? Or client don't need to trigger the button during the installation.
Sales is a high demand, dynamic industry forcing those in it to constantly make decisions around prioritising work/tasks to achieve their outcome. Therefore, a low maintenance client appears to be nirvana to the sales person. Especially a high profit, low maintenance client - high value clients that don't ask for us anything. Wow!
What then goes second are our low maintenance, silent clients. Those clients that don't have anything on at the moment. That aren't demanding any of our attention at the moment. That we can always reconnect with tomorrow, or the day after. At the moment we have a full plate.
This can be an outcome of how you measure or remunerate your sales team - and symptomatic of the very metrics you are using to impel your team to sell. An acquisition mindset where we are so focused on new clients on our portfolio, risks doing so at the expense of those clients we've already made promises to. A sale through product mindset, where your sales team is measured on their volume of sales (eg number of widgets sold) is also a risk as, invariably, new clients present bigger opportunities. Even where you measure revenue growth (either net or gross) can present risks as often the trigger our silent clients aren't happy is when they signal they're leaving and we need to replace a hole in our revenue line. We simply risk creating a defacto culture of ignoring our silent clients if we get these metrics wrong or don't draw attention to those that may not be buying today, but could if we had the right conversations.
Examples of this are rife in the B2C space where existing clients feel unvalued in lieu of the strong acquisition programmes these businesses have and deals they offer new clients. Loyal clients are neglected in the pursuit of new ones. Their voice is silenced and they need to yell to be heard.
That client who doesn't demand much, doesn't ring all the time or isn't consumptive of your attention today may very well be sitting in front of you tomorrow. Because they've been a client of yours for a long time, they expect you know their business, the goals and their industry.
The other issue is, now they are sitting in front of you, you can guarantee that what they need is pressing or important, and usually time bound. Suddenly, you need to deliver a compelling solution for an existing client you have not spent enough time with - simply because you've viewed them as 'low maintenance'. Your silent client is now yelling for attention and you don't know enough about them.
Aside from the above situation where a client who was previously 'low maintenance' raises their head, there is another more nefarious implication of not addressing your low maintenance clients. The above is predicated on your client contacting you. What if they don't? What if your low maintenance client is viewed as a high value prospect of your competitors and they aren't as apathetically managing their relationship with them as you are? What if they don't contact you, instead choosing to contact your competitor? Your low maintenance clients are the breeding ground of competitive opportunity.
If you are managing your client relationships effectively, you should be creating the conversation not waiting for them to ring you. You should be asking them questions to challenge them, to inquire, to provide confidence to act, to help them make decisions which lead them to their goals.
Yes, this often happens in sales. But this often doesn't mean your client is low maintenance. More often it can mean you're viewed as low value. Yes, you! The sales person. You haven't demonstrated your value beyond delivering solutions to 'transactions'. You haven't proven the value of your relationship, intellectual property and/or personality for them and their business. Sorry, painful but the truth.
I obviously laboured the above to make a point. The point is you are a professional sales person - not a order taker. Your role is to help shape wise decision making in your clients business, not simply react to it. If your clients don't understand this - you're the reason why they're low maintenance.
If you aren't in regular contact with all your clients - this is usually the first area you need to address. Yes, you need to deal to your work in progress and time bound client requirements - but as a professional sales person, all your clients should be contacted regularly. ALL of them.
But it doesn't simply stop there. Simply contacting them isn't a silver bullet. Why you contact them is crucial. Are you completing strategic reviews, discussing their goals or participating in or seeking the outcome of their internal planning? Simply picking up the phone for a chat isn't enough. All your clients require a robust relationship strategy to deliver maximum value.
