Question on: checkmk

With 1.6, the windows agent is shipped as an msi. Before it was an exe. Before i installed cmk on a client by a powershell on a central server which, with msi it does not work.

1.5: this works: $session = New-PSSession -ComputerName $server -Credential $credential Invoke-Command -Session $session -ScriptBlock { C:\uz\Apps\Check_mk\check_mk_agent.exe install } Remove-PSSession $session 1.6 this does not work. $args = @( "'/i" "$localmsi_fqn" "/qn /log C:\UZ\Logs\Check_MK.log'" ) $command = "Start-Process msiexec -ArgumentList " + $args + " -Wait" $session = New-PSSession -ComputerName $server -Credential $credential Invoke-Command -Session $session -ScriptBlock { $command } Remove-PSSession $session Someone an idea what is wrong?

Hi Peter, We encourage you to post any technical questions directly on our user forum: https://forum.checkmk.com/ . I'm sure that our community members will be happy to provide tips on how to solve this issue. Regarding your question, there is a requirement to deliver our products for Windows only as MSI. Try using the following command line: msiexec /i check_mk_agent.msi /qn /L*V agent_msi.log From your post is not clear what is wrong with Powershell (many things can go wrong: access to the path, session rights, administrative rights etc.) Best, Cristian
