RC Server MSI-package unattended parameters

Apart from a manual installation or a remote installation triggered from the client, the RC Server can also be installed in unattended mode using the Microsoft Windows Installer Tool MSIEXEC.

MSI-package location

The SysMan RC Server service installation-package is stored on the SysMan RC client-machine (your local dektop, i.e. the machine where you connect from), as SysgemRCServer.msi in the 'Sysgem\SysMan Remote Control' installation folder.

  • On 32-bits-machines this would by default be:
    C:\Program Files\Sysgem\SysMan Remote Control
  • On 64-bit-machines this would by default be:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Sysgem\SysMan Remote Control

MSI-package parameters
The SysMan RC Server installer-package optionally supports a selection of parameters, as written below.

RC Server connection-password

MSI-package unattended parameter: PASSWORD
Set as text: RC Server set to allow logons through the -set- session password.
No set: RC Server session password disabled

Confirming incoming connections

MSI-package unattended parameter: QUERYCONNECTIONS
set to 0: Don’t confirm on incoming connections
set to 1: Require confirmation on incoming connections

The connection-list on active connections

MSI-package unattended parameter: SHOWCONNS
set to 0: Don’t show list of active connections
set to 1: Do show list of active connections

Allow/disallow user to modify Remote Control Server settings (lock Server-Settings)

MSI-package unattended parameter: EDITSETTINGS
set to 0: Disallow user to modify RC Server settings (lock Server-Settings)
set to 1: Allow user to modify RS Server Settings

Availability of the notification-area RC-server icon

MSI-package unattended parameter: SHOWSTATUS
set to 0: Disable notification-area icon
set to 1: Enable notification-area icon

Note:

If the RC-server icon is disabled, and the connection-list is disabled, and confirmation on incoming connections is disabled, then user sitting at the remote desktop will not be made aware of a session being initiated. Make sure this configuration does not compromise your company-policy in relation to monitoring user’s desktops (also see here).
