Installing .MSP without users having to logon

Baek8280 · 06-16-2009, 02:38 PM

Hello fellow Altiris Admins,

I wanted to ask if this is possible.

Is it possible to deploy .MSP files with DS console without having to log a user on, or do they need to be converted into .MSI for this deployment? I have designed MSI's from WISE, so I was wondering if there was an easier way?

Thanks

Any chance you can create an admin install point of the MSI and then run the MSP against that point.

You can then deploy the app from the updated admin point.

I've read articles on how to deploy MSI files or even MSP, I was not able to figure it out. However I figured out how to deploy, this is what I did:

Code:

start /wait filelocation\filename.msp /quiet

or for no reboot, /norestart

Worked like a charm for me,
I appreciate the follow up, thanks!
