How do I deploy the Endpoint Policy Manager Cloud Client via command line silently?

The Command line is an easy way to deploy the Netwrix Endpoint Policy Manager (formerly PolicyPak) Cloud , providing a silent install that does not require a reboot.

Here are some examples of typical silent command lines to run:

To install the Cloud Client quietly with no UI:
msiexec /i "C:\Temp\PolicyPak Cloud Client for company name.msi" /qn
To install the Cloud Client quietly with no UI and no restart:
msiexec /i "C:\Temp\PolicyPak Cloud Client for company name.msi" /qn /norestart
To install the Cloud Client quietly using JOINTOKEN with no UI and no restart:
msiexec /i "C:\Temp\PolicyPak Cloud Client for company name.msi" JOINTOKEN="AXBCDeVXbieqP9WUWQwnYM=" /qn /norestart

NOTE: Replace JOINTOKEN="AXBCDeVXbieqP9WUWQwnYM=" with the relevant JOINTOKEN string for your environment. See this video for more information on how to use JOINTOKEN:

For more information on the MSIEXEC command line switches, see this article: Microsoft Standard Installer command-line options

You may also create a command file to run the install and collect logs.

setlocal
set d=%DATE:~-4%-%DATE:~4,2%-%DATE:~7,2%
set t=%time::=.%
set t=%t: =%
set logfile="%d%_%t%.log"
msiexec /i %1 /norestart /quiet /lv*x %logfile%
