Golden image based non-persistent Cached Mode
Prerequisites must be installed before SysTrack Cloud Edition.
Non-persistent desktops contain one or more desktops automatically created and customized by virtual machine templates. Users are allocated any desktop currently available in the pool, which may differ between sessions. This desktop is assigned dynamically each time the user connects.
Advanced installation steps are only necessary for use of the SysTrack cloud agent under certain circumstances, generally non-persistent pooled image-based deployments.
For purely non-persistent systems without associated persistent storage devices, a file share location must be specified for storage of the SysTrack cloud agent database files. This network file share location will require that the local computer account for each system that will use it have read/write access for the agent to create and maintain its database on each endpoint.
Install, reinstall, upgrade, and uninstall must take place on the **golden image** for the Non-persistent desktop.
First-time (Advanced “Cached Mode”) installation – SysTrackCloudEdition.msi
Default values will be used if not set (read Command Line Properties).
Add REBOOT=R to suppress automatic and certain prompts for system restarts.
Add INSTALLDIR if the install path is not default install path (read Command Line Properties)
Default install path on 32-bit operating system:
“<[ProgramFilesFolder]\SysTrack\LsiAgent>” or, “C:\Program Files\SysTrack\LsiAgent”
Default install path on 64-bit operating system:
“<[ProgramFilesFolder]\SysTrack\LsiAgent>” or, “C:\Program Files (x86)\SysTrack\LsiAgent”
Required to place double quotes around path assigned to INSTALLDIR.
Add CONFIGNAME=”<EnterConfigurationName>” to assign a named configuration otherwise the default value “” will be used.
Required to place double quotes around value assigned to CONFIGNAME.
Add CACHEDMODE=1 to toggle agent behavior to periodically cache the child database on the master and to cache at device shutdown. When the device is started, the cached database will be fetched from the associated master and agent collection will begin with or without an associated user session. Otherwise, the default value 0 will be used.
Add RUNONPARENT=<EnterValue>
RUNONPARENT=0 (default) means the agent will exit on the parent image.

All Property names must be UPPERCASE:
REBOOT=R: to suppress automatic and certain prompts for system restarts.
REINSTALL=ALL: Required for Reinstall only.
CONFIGNAME=”<EnterConfigurationName>”: to assign a named configuration.
PROXYCONNECTIONHUB=<servername>.<domain>.org : assign name of the ProxyConnectionHub system (if applicable) <Optional>
AUTODETECTPROXY=1 or 0 (default is 0): assign preferred proxy setting: whether to use autodetect <Optional>
AUTOCONFIGSCRIPT=http://<server>.<domain>.org/test.pac : assign preferred proxy setting: the address of a *.pac file to get proxy information from <Optional>

FORCE: <Required for Upgrades only when command line properties CONFIGNAME, CACHEDMODE, PROXYCONNECTIONHUB, AUTODETECTPROXY, AUTOCONFIGSCRIPT, HTTPSPROXY, RUNONPARENT are to be used>
FORCE=1: will force the Upgrade process to use both the CONFIGNAME and CACHEDMODE property values to change the currently installed value. Requires values assigned to CONFIGNAME, CACHEDMODE, PROXYCONNECTIONHUB, AUTODETECTPROXY, AUTOCONFIGSCRIPT, HTTPSPROXY, RUNONPARENT or their default value “” will be used (read Command Line Properties).
FORCE=0: < not required because the default is 0 >
INSTALLDIR: Required for First-time and Upgrade installations and if not using the default install path
/qn – (q)silent mode (no user interaction); (n)no user interface
/i – install
/L*v – verbose logging (optional): The L in L*v may use a lower case (l).
Either installation type will take a few minutes to complete.
If you are performing a silent installation (using the /qn switch), a good way of knowing if the installation is still running would be to look into the Task Manager. There, you should see multiple listings of “msiexec.exe”. And, if you ran the MSI installer with logging (using the /L*v switch), not only will the log be created, but inside toward the bottom of the information, will display whether the installation was a success or failure.
To determine if a system reboot is needed, simply add the /L*v switch to create a log file when performing a silent mode installation and search for entries that indicate a system reboot is required. Key words to search for are: System restart and Reboot. Results:
