Installation Script for Install of Safeguard 7.00

macca1978

I am looking to centrally deploy safeguard 7.00 client to around 250 Windows 7 Machines using a script within a Machine group policy in active directory.

The Safeguard client comes in 3 msi's, the pre install, the client itself and then the config packagage. I have no scripting experience or knowledge and wondered if someone has something similar that I can use as a base template script for my rollout?

The install ideally would happen on boot and be silent, and ideally would require no restarts.

any ideas or help would be much appreciated.

thanks

    Its a bit complicated but you can use Section "9.5.3.3 Command line options for central installation"

    this guide: https://www.sophos.com/en-us/medialibrary/PDFs/documentation/sgn_7_ig_eng_installation.pdf?la=en

    I have written a script for our distribution and changed it slightly for you. It installs all three MSI files using the deafult settings, it installs all features and also checks the POACFG. You need to make sure the script is run in the same folder as the MSI files. If you need to hard code the path you can remove "%~dp0" and replace it with the file path. You will also need to rename the third MSI file.

    It will create a folder called C:\Encryption\Logs" which only records errors encountered during the installation process. It changes the power settings so that the device never powers off when plugged into the mains and also reboots the machine once the software is installed.

    MD "C:\Encryption\Logs"

    msiexec /i "%~dp001-SGxClientPreinstall.msi" /quiet /Le c:\Encryption\Logs\01-SGxClientPreinstall.log

    msiexec /i "%~dp002-SGNClient_x64.msi" POACFG="%~dp0POACFG_as_of_6_1x.xml" /quiet /norestart /Le c:\Encryption\Logs\02-SGNClient_x64.log ADDLOCAL=Client,BaseEncryption,SectorBasedEncryption,CredentialProvider,CloudStorage,SecureDataExchange,FileShare /norestart

    msiexec /i "%~dp003-[CHANGE CLIENT CONFIG MSI].msi" /quiet /Le c:\Encryption\Logs\03-clientconfig-sgn.log /norestart

    powercfg -change -standby-timeout-ac 0


    %WINDIR%\System32\shutdown.exe /r /t/ 00

    Between this, the link and some googling on batch commands you should be able to get something to work. At the very least you can make a batch file even if you dont want to deploy centrally.

    ...

    Remember to Kudos if this helps ;)
