In my case I used http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/14516/iceberg

From Kace Support:

Best Method - Repackage the agent - The method reduces the dependency on external script execution choosing to bundle the config script inside the package resulting in a monolithic deployment component. 

1. Using as package creation tool that allows for postflight actions create an installer package that encases the original KACE installer. 

2. Add a Postflight script 
#!/bin/bash 
# 
# Stop agent 
/Library/Application\ Support/Dell/KACE/bin/AMPctl stop 
# 
# Add K1000 FQDN name to amp.conf file 
echo host=host.example.example > /Library/Application\ Support/Dell/KACE/data/amp.conf 
# 
# Start Agent 
/Library/Application\ Support/Dell/KACE/bin/AMPctl start 

3. Build the package and deploy via any standard tool 


Each of these methods will result in a machine taking longer to initially as the agent initially starts with no config, is then shut down, configured and then started. Careful viewing of the logs will show an agent lacking configuration will assume the K1000's hostname is "kbox". After the amp.conf is configured and the agent started it will begin communicating with the FQDN you supply.

What version of MAC Agent do you have?

---------------------------------------------

edit: This solution is, in fact, not ideal as it does not affect the installer package, but only affects the machine it is run on.

In actuality, repackaging the installer (as outlined by dugullett) is the best way to accomplish this as part of the install process.

Repackaging AbhayR's comment as an answer

The best way to accomplish this is the following(Replacing k1000name with your server address):

1. Download the installer dmg to your local machine
2. Open a terminal window (in an account with Admin priveledges)
3. navigate(cd) to the folder containing your downloaded dmg.
   
4. Type: hdiutil attach ./ampagent-5.3.53177-all.dmg Hit enter
5. Type: sudo sh -c 'KACE_SERVER=k1000name installer -pkg
     /Volumes/Dell_KACE/AMPAgent.pkg -target /' Hit Enter (and enter your password)
   
6. Type: hdiutil detach '/Volumes/Dell_KACE' hit Enter

This changes the actual install package within the dmg so that no alteration need to be made to the install process and the installer doesn't need to be repackaged. This also allows the agent to be deployed with Apple Remote Desktop.

I've tried using that, and this one.

hdiutil attach ./ampagent-5.3.53177-all.dmg
export KACE_SERVER=k1000name
sudo installer -pkg '/Volumes/Dell_KACE/AMPAgent.pkg' -target /
hdiutil detach '/Volumes/Dell_KACE'

Both of these work for that first time. I'm assuming after the detach I then just copy the .dmg to my network location, and run it?
