Installing Change Auditor coordinators and web clients

The following commands allow you to install Change Auditor components.

Use this command to install locally a Change Auditor Coordinator.

-MsiPath

The location to find the coordinator MSI file. The coordinator is installed using this installer.

-SQLAuthDatabaseCredential

Credentials to use for the coordinator to access the SQL Server. Specify when the coordinator should use SQL Authentication mode.

Database Credential or Azure Active Directory Credential must be used. The Encrypt connection option will be enabled by default.

-AzureADAuthDatabaseCredential

Credentials to use for the coordinator to access the SQL Server. Specify when the coordinator should use Azure Active Directory authentication mode.

-DatabaseCredential

Credentials to use for the coordinator to access the SQL Server. Specify when the coordinator should use Windows Authentication mode. These credentials must be a valid set of Windows credentials..

-DatabaseServer

The SQL Server to host the database.

-LogPath

The local path on the computer where the installation log is written.

-AgentPort (Optional)

The static port for Change Auditor 6.x agents to communicate with the coordinator.

-ClientPort (Optional)

 

The static port for the Change Auditor client to communicate with the coordinator.

-DatabaseName (Optional)

The name assign to the Change Auditor database.

-InstallationName (Optional)

Name that uniquely identifies the current Change Auditor installation within your Active Directory environment.

If this is an additional coordinator in an existing installation (sharing the same database), ensure that you use the name of the existing installation.

-LegacyAgentPort (Optional)

 

The static port for legacy (5.x) Change Auditor agents to communicate with the coordinator.

-SDKPort (Optional)

The static port used by external applications to access the coordinator

Install-CACoordinator -MsiPath "C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\Quest Change Auditor Coordinator 6 (x64).msi" -SQLAuthDatabaseCredential $dbcredential -DatabaseServer "MyDatabase" -LogPath "C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\Coordinator.log"

After running this command, the installed coordinator will have the installation name “DEFAULT” and look for or create a database named ChangeAuditor.

Use this command to install locally the web client.

 

-LogPath

The local path on the computer where the installation log is written.

-MsiPath

The location to find the web client MSI file. The web client is installed using this installer.

-CoordinatorConnection (Optional)

 

A previously created connection from Connect-CAClient.

-SiteName (Optional)

The web site name for the Change Auditor web client.

-SitePort (Optional)

A unique port for the web site to avoid conflicts with other IIS applications (for example, SharePoint® uses the default port 80; therefore, the IIS web site for the Change Auditor web client must use a different port). If a conflicting port is specified, attempting to launch the web client displays either an ‘HTTP 404 Not Found’ or ‘Page cannot be displayed’ error.

Install-CAWebClient -MsiPath "C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\Quest Change Auditor Web Client 6 (x64).msi" -CoordinatorConnection $connection -LogPath "C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\WebClientInstallationLog.log"

-Connection

-LicensePath

The license file directory on the client computer.

-Coordinator (Optional)

The single coordinator where you want to install the license (rather than all coordinators).

-Certificate (Optional)

The thumbprint of a client authentication certificate to use instead of automatically searching the current user's personal certificate store.
