Currently, whenever the Spotlight client is installed or updated, the Diagnostic Server address must be entered manually after the installation is complete. This step introduces complexity, especially for non-technical users who may not know or have access to the required server information.
The proposed enhancement is to introduce a configuration parameter (e.g., a command-line option or MSI property) that enables administrators to predefine the Diagnostic Server address during the client installation or upgrade process. This would ensure that the client is automatically configured to connect to the correct Diagnostic Server without any user intervention.
Is it possible to implement an installer enhancement that accepts an installation parameter during the command line installation of the Spotlight client (e.g., DIAGNOSTIC_SERVER_ADDRESS=<value>) to automatically configure the Diagnostic Server address? The client installer should store this value and apply it upon completion, ensuring seamless connectivity without manual configuration.
