Deploying Roaming Client or Agent via RMM Tools
This article provides step-by-step instructions for deploying the Cyber Fox DNS roaming client or agent using Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) or other deployment tools. Follow these guidelines to ensure a smooth and efficient deployment process.
Download the Latest Client
Download the latest client from the following link:
- A Generic Installer that you will supply the location key via the command line: Generic Installer
- The Specific installer that you download from the company, location, or device on the portal that should look like:
dns_client_[companyidhere].exe
Location Specific Installers
If you are downloading the location-specific installer, ensure that the executable is downloaded per client site and do not change the name of the executable. The location key in the name will be used to assign it to the correct location without any command line requirements.
Deploy the Generic installer with the command line option.
Use the following command to deploy the client via your RMM tool of choice:
dns-latest.exe /SP- /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /VERYSILENT /NORESTART /COMPANY_ID=[company id]
Command Line Options Explained
-
/SP-: Suppresses the “Do you wish to continue?” prompt. -
/SUPPRESSMSGBOXES: Suppresses message boxes during installation. -
/VERYSILENT: Eliminates any need for user interaction during the installation process. -
/NORESTART: Suppresses any need for a restart after the installation is completed. -
/COMPANY_ID=[company id]: Supply the location company ID to the installer.
If your RMM supports variables, you can insert the company ID as a variable for wider deployments using a single deployment script.
Deploy the Location-Specific installer with the command-line options.
Use the following command to deploy the client via your RMM tool of choice when using the client's location-specific installer file:
dns_client_[CompanyIDhere].exe /SP- /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /VERYSILENT /NORESTART
Command Line Options Explained
-
/SP-: Suppresses the “Do you wish to continue?” prompt. -
/SUPPRESSMSGBOXES: Suppresses message boxes during installation. -
/VERYSILENT: Eliminates any need for user interaction during the installation process. -
/NORESTART: Suppresses any need for a restart after the installation is completed.
If you use the location-specific installer without any command line options during deployment, the end user will be prompted with a dialog box to continue the installation. We highly recommend installation using the above command line options to install silently.
