Automatically install latest kace agent during k2 deployments
I am trying to add a PO task that will install the latest version automatically, without having to modify the PO task every time an agent upgrade happens and can't figure out the correct wildcard syntax. Should be simple, but I am striking out.
A few that I tried:
A few that I tried:
msiexec /i "\\k1host\client\agent_provisioning\windows_platform\ampagent-*.*.***-x86.msi" HOST=k1host
msiexec /i "\\k1host\client\agent_provisioning\windows_platform\ampagent-*-x86.msi" HOST=k1host
msiexec /i "\\k1host\client\agent_provisioning\windows_platform\*.msi" HOST=k1host
However when I added the version info explicitly like this it worked:
msiexec /i "\\k1host\client\agent_provisioning\windows_platform\ampagent-8.0.152-x86.msi" HOST=k1host
Any ideas?

The msiexec command doesn't accept wildcards. You could use the for command to identify the msi file in the folder and run the msiexec command on that file.

Using chucks answer as a guideline, I cobbled this batch file together and it works well:
for %%f in (\\k1host\client\agent_provisioning\windows_platform\*.msi) do (
msiexec /qb /i "\\k1host\client\agent_provisioning\windows_platform\%%~nf.msi" HOST=k1host
)
exit
Thanks Chuck!
