NSClient install on Windows

Post by sanzen »

Hi all,

I am trying to install the NSCP-0.5.2.3.5-x64 msi on several windows servers. It will be installed via chef, but I still need to provide the correct install command. I am trying to install the msi with a specific ini file.

As of right now, my command looks like this
$webinstallerpath = "C:\Users\svc.test\Desktop\nsclient\NSCP-0.5.2.35-x64.msi"
$arguments = "/i $webinstallerpath CONF_CAN_CHANGE=`"True`" ALLOWED_HOSTS=`"10.x.x.x`" NSCLIENT_PWD=`"`" CONF_CHECKS=`"True`"CONF_NSCLIENT=`"True`" /norestart"
Start-process msiexec.exe -ArgumentList $arguments -Wait

I have been unable to locate the command to pass the ini file(which is in the same folder as the install)

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Hi @sanzen,

We currently do not produce documentation for installing NSClient++ using configuration management software like Chef. Have you checked their site for documentation or the forums for assistance.

Let us know if you're able to get it working.
