Issue/Introduction:

Resolution:

Below is a very simple script that can be used to install the ADLAgent onto any supported (possibly unsupported, but as the name suggests it would be unsupported) Linux OS. It does require interaction to configure, but simplifies pulling the agent files down to each client and running the installer and configuration.

DESCRIPTION :

Before executing this script, be sure to replace the following:

altiris-adlagent-*.x86_64.bin This will only work if there's only one version, otherwise replace * with the version you want installed

mkdir /mnt/eXpress && mount -t cifs //192.168.1.2/eXpress /mnt/eXpress -o username=myDom/AltirisUser,password=myPassword && /mnt/eXpress/Agents/ADLAgent/altiris-adlagent-*.x86_64.bin && /opt/altiris/deployment/adlagent/bin/configure && umount /mnt/eXpress && rmdir /mnt/eXpress
