NSClient++ MSI Options

[TechnicallyTrue]

Hello,
I've been fiddling with a script to perform a silent install of NSClient++ (version 0.5.2.35). At the moment, the command I'm running to perform the actual installation is:

Code: Select all

msiexec /qn /l* log.txt /i NSCP-0.5.2.35-x64.msi

The issue is that it always seems to include the following in nsclient.ini:

Code: Select all

; BIND TO ADDRESS - Allows you to bind server to a specific local address. This has to be a dotted ip address not a host name. Leaving this blank will bind to all available IP addresses.
bind to = UNKNOWN

Setting bind to to "UNKNOWN" prevents NSClient++ from working correctly, so I'd like to figure out how to exclude it. It's not there if I perform the installation manually through the GUI, so there must be some option in the installer to disable it.
I realize this may be a question better suited to the NSClient++ forum, but the site's been down for at least a couple of days. I figured I'd post it here as it is related to Nagios, and someone might happen to know how to fix this.
Thank you very much.

My bet would be that this is coming from SampleConfigFull in the MSI file. I see there that the "bind to" address is set to UNKNOWN. If you know of a good way to extract and re-package an MSI file, then I wish you the best of luck here.

However, maybe there's another way we can go about this. Are you using any automation tools in your environment where you could deploy a proper NSClient config file?

I ended up just removing the lines from the config file after installation using a script. Seems to have done the trick, although I'm still quite curious if there's a way to do it through arguments to the msi file.
Thank you very much.

Excellent, glad you were able to get it working. I'll close this thread.
