Silent install (opsi-winst script)

[Sznefru]

Hi,

I have a simple opsi-winst script, that only copy some files from the server to clients.
When the users power on their computers the opsi window appears and the script runs (if necessary).
But sometimes it will be very useful, that i can run this script in silent mode (the users won't see anything, because i don't like to disturb them).

Is it possible?


Thank you!

Hi,

in the new opsi-winst 4.11.3.2 (in testing right now) you will find the possibility to minimize the opsi-winst window by script:

An other way may be to assign an other desktop than 'current' for example to the 'on_demand' event.
Have a look to the opsi-manual: opsi-client-agent / configuration.

But I assume the first approach is that what you are looking for.

Hi,

I have installed the new opsi-winst 4.11.3.3. I've red all of the opsi manuals (opsi Getting Started Installation and first steps, opsi Manual , opsi-winst Manual ), but i have no idea how can i use the silent install.
So, i have this short script:

[Initial]

ScriptErrorMessages=on

[Actions]
DefVar $ProductName$
DefVar $InterestingFile$
DefVar $ExitCode$

Set $ProductName$ = "KEB.INI"
set $InterestingFile$ = "%ScriptPath%\keb.ini"

Message "Copying KEB.INI..."
ShowBitmap "%scriptpath%\"+$ProductName$+".bmp" $ProductName$
SetLogLevel=9

if not (FileExists($InterestingFile$))
comment "A fajl nem letezik
isFatalError
Sub_check_exitcode

else
comment "A fajl(ok) masolasa..."
Files_copy


endif

Sub_check_exitcode




[Files_copy]
copy -se "%ScriptPath%\keb.ini" "c:\windows"

[Sub_check_exitcode]
set $ExitCode$ = getLastExitCode

if ($ExitCode$ = "0")
comment "OKE: setup program gives exitcode zero"
else
comment "NEM OKE: Setup program gives a exitcode unequal zero: " + $ExitCode$
isFatalError
endif



and i would like to run this script on every machines, but without the appearing opsi-winst window.

Thank yo!

there is no way to run only this script in silent mode. the only way is to minimize the WINST windows with this command: IconizeWinst

another way is change the WINST mode to Silent permanently via hostparamter. But then every product action is silent.

[Sznefru]

Ok, it is not problem, that the every product will be silent.
But i don't know where can I set it (to minimize the WINST with the IconizeWinst command), what is the method?

Hi,

for minimize the WINST Windows you must set the IconizeWinst command in the top of your script.

For Set the WINST permanently to the silent mode you must set a new HostParameter via Configed or Opsi-Admin.

Code: Alles auswählen

%action_processor.command% /sessionid %service_session% /silent

this is the actionprocessor command in the.

If you want to set only on_demand actions to silent you must set this:

Code: Alles auswählen

opsiclientd.on_demand.action_processor_command  %action_processor.command% /sessionid %service_session% /silent

If you want to set GUI_Startup setup actions to silent you must set this:

Code: Alles auswählen

opsiclientd.gui_startup.action_processor_command %action_processor.command% /sessionid %service_session% /silent

Thank you again!

So all that i have to do:
1. Insert IconizeWinst to the script at the Initial section
2. Add to the host parameters (from the web broser) one of the code, that you post it.

Because i try it. But the window (opsi-winst get list of products) appears, and just after go to the taskbar.
Is there any way, that fully hide from users the whole process?

You have to go only one of these ways. The first one only minimize the WINST window after loading the script.
The second one runs winst completely in silent mode.
If you changed it via hostparameter the opsi-client-agent ask the opsi-server for the new configuration file. After a reboot the new settings will work.

[Sznefru]

I think the second one that i need.
But it is possible, i didn't set it well.

I go to the configed -> host parameters. Add standard configuration entry. Type a name(name of new configuration entry) e.g: Silent_install . Then I give a property value: opsiclientd.gui_startup.action_processor_command.%action_processor.command% /sessionid %service_session% /silent
and then i save it.
Is this correct?

[tobias]

Hi,

no thats wrong. you must name it like that:
opsiclientd.gui_startup.action_processor_command
and the property of this parameter you must set this:
%action_processor.command% /sessionid %service_session% /silent
