Please, I need to install the Windows agent on 100's of xp clients that don't have a real desktop. Is there any non GUI install out there or examples of a way to copy the files reg change and create and Start the service. Thanks Christian....
I have worked the past couple of days on getting the Windows agent to build/compile on Windows and to modify the nsis file to make the installation silent with the /S switch (it sort of works now, but there are issues). So now I have a binary that can be installed manually or silently.
This doesn't handle keys. The next step will be to write a script that takes the keys in client.keys on the manager and puts them on the hosts, along with starting the service.
I'll blog about it when I'm done. With the instructions, you should be able to deploy the agent with Group Policy, SMS, Altiris, or whatever, but the key management will be sort of a manual step.
