On the Patch Authority Ultimate console, locate the STPlatformUpdater.exe file.
Copy the .exe file to the desired target machines.
This file can be distributed using Active Directory, or you can simply copy it to a physical media such as a CD or flash drive and manually distribute it to the desired machines.
Next, as shown in the Help via Agents > Using an Agent > Creating and Using a Manual Installation Script:
When manually installing Patch Authority Ultimate Agent on machines, one option is to create a script that will automatically pass all necessary agent information to the installation wizard. You can copy the script to a key fob or a USB flash drive and then easily move from machine to machine installing the agent.
Note: The following script is provided only as an example. Do not attempt to use this script in your organization without modifying the input values and performing adequate testing.
If passphrase authentication is used go to Tools | Options | Agents and check "Enable passphrase in manual Agent installations", then enter and confirm the passphrase.
Example script for passphrase authentication:
STPlatformInstaller.exe /wi:"/qn /l*v install.log SERVERURI=https://consolename:3121 POLICY=policyname AUTHENTICATIONTYPE=PASSPHRASE PASSPHRASE=secret"
Example script for Windows authentication:
STPlatformInstaller.exe /wi:"/qn /l*v install.log SERVERURI=https://consolename:3121 POLICY=policyname AUTHENTICATIONTYPE=WINDOWS SERVERUSERNAME=domainname\Your.Name PASSWORD=secret"
Where:
STPlatformInstaller is a bootstrap installer for the agent platform installation
/wi means pass this to Windows Installer.
/qn means no user interface activity from the installer.
/l*v means write a log for the installation attempt. It has one parameter that specifies the log file name.
SERVERURI is the address, port, and scheme (e.g. https://) used to connect to the console for registration and check-in.
POLICY is the name of the agent policy that will be assigned to the agent.
AUTHENTICATIONTYPE is either PASSPHRASE or WINDOWS (this is dictated by the Tools > Options > Agents dialog).
PASSPHRASE is the passphrase used to authenticate the agent to the console (used only if AUTHENTICATIONTYPE=PASSPHRASE).
SERVERUSERNAME is the name of a user who has rights to install an agent (used only if AUTHENTICATIONTYPE=WINDOWS).
PASSWORD is the password used to authenticate the user to the console (used only if AUTHENTICATIONTYPE=WINDOWS).
USECURRENTCREDENTIALS=1 can be used in place of SERVERUSERNAME and PASSWORD if you want to authenticate using the credentials of the person who logged on to run the script.
Example: Run the command below on the client machine(s):
STPlatformUpdater.exe /wi:" /qn /l*v install.log SERVERURI=https://Sever_Name:3121 POLICY=Agent_Policy AUTHENTICATIONTYPE=PASSPHRASE PASSPHRASE=Password
