MSI Silent Install without Tray Icon

[Psycholiquid]

Found the post on the silent install but I am trying to push this via GPO and don’t want the tray icon. Anyone have any ideas?

@Psycholiquid
Here’s all the CLI options for the client

msiexec /i FOGService.msi /quiet USETRAY="0" HTTPS="0" WEBADDRESS="192.168.1.X" WEBROOT="/" ROOTLOG="0"

Firstly, all options are optional. Here’s what they all do

• USETRAY: defaults to "1", if "0" the tray will be hidden
• HTTPS: defaults to "0", if "1" the client will use HTTPS (not recommended)
• WEBADDRESS: defaults to "fog-server", this is the ip/dns name of your server
• WEBROOT: defaults to "/fog"
• ROOTLOG defaults to "0", if "1" the fog.log will be at C:\fog.log, otherwise %PROGRAMFILES%\FOG\fog.log

So for your question:

msiexec /i FOGService.msi /quiet USETRAY="0" WEBADDRESS="XX.XX.XX.XX"

Is there autostart option in Windows msi intsllataion?

@Uzzi Not on Windows as far as I know. But you can probably script that when installing. Depends on what software you use to deploy the MSI.
