Silent deployment with settings password-protected

May 07, 2018 2:19:05 am EDT

Hi
I'm planning to deploy host using Active Directory (Standard MSI package created via MSI Configurator). I need to password-protect host's settings to prevent our curious users from changing them. But when I tested host's installation on a machine, it asked for password during installation which makes silent installation completely impossible (and you know that I can't give the password to our users!). What am I missing?
Thanks.

Hello Mohammad,

Thank you for your message.

when I tested host's installation on a machine

Did you test it by simply running the installer manually? Or did you run the installation using AD GPO just as it was supposed to be carried out?

Hello Conrad.
Thanks for your reply. I tested it simply by running the installer. Does it make any difference? I mean if I run using AD GPO, will the installer skip asking password?
Regards

Hello Mohammad,

Yes, it does. Please, try running a silent installation through GPO just as you would in a production environment.

Thanks.
