Reinstall (Silent installer - SAM Licensing)

Reinstall (Silent installer - SAM Licensing) - Single or multiple system upgrades using scripting.

Pre-requisites

Steps

  1. Place the installation media in a shared location accessible by the remote systems.

  2. Create a .bat file with the following contents, replacing “Path to install media” with the shared location in your environment and “Path to my .inf file” with the location of the configuration export:

    "Path to install media\Snare-Windows-Agent-v5.6.1-x64.exe" /VerySilent /SuppressMsgBoxes /Reinstall /LoadInf="Path to my .inf file"

    details of other available switches in the silent installer can be found here: Silent Install - Snare Windows Agent v5 Documentation - Confluence (atlassian.net)

  3. Using deployment tools (SCCM, GPO etc) execute the script on systems running the SecureWorks agent.

  4. The Snare enterprise agent will now be deployed with the collection polices from the system the configuration was exported from and be issued a license by SAM.

Note: You will need to ensure the script is executed with the necessary permissions (generally local administrator level) to access the shared files and perform the install.
