Performing a Silent Install of the eFolder Replibit Agent

The latest Agent Installer for eFolder Replibit has now been packaged as a standard Windows Installer .MSI package. In order to perform an automated installation, custom properties must be set when calling the Windows Installer in order to configure the agent settings.

To perform a silent installation of the Replibit agent, use MSIEXEC as follows:

Install

MSIEXEC /I agentInstaller.msi /q SERVER=<Appliance IP Address> [BACKUP_VOLUMES=<Drv>,<Drv>…] [PASSWORD=<encryption password>]

• The SERVER parameter is required. If omitted the agent will be installed without an Appliance server address and backups will not occur.
• The BACKUP_VOLUMES parameter is optional and may be omitted. Specify specific drive letters to be backed up in a comma separated list.  (i.e. BACKUP_VOLUMES=C,D,E) 
• The PASSWORD parameter is optional and may be omitted. Specify the password that will be required to access the Protected System from an Appliance or Vault when perform data recovery operations.

Uninstall

MSIEXEC /x agentInstaller.msi

Deployment Notes

When performing an automated network deployment, specify the fully qualified UNC network path to the agent file.  (i.e., \\Server\Share\agentInstall.msi, NOT F:\Share\agentInstall.msi)
