Agent Installer Modification (.msi)

[RobertBatchelor]

Hi There

I'm looking into ways of deploying the Zabbix agent out to an estate of windows servers and I thought the easiest way would be to open the msi and edit the conf file to ensure our Zabbix Servers hostname was listed under passive and active. However I'm having trouble editing the file, I presume the msi needs to be unpackaged and repackaged for this to be possible?

This is my first time attempting to modify a msi, so not sure about the best way to do this. Or perhaps an alternate solution?

I'm really just trying to ensure the config file contains our hostname for both passive and active, and to enable remote commands.

Appreciate any help, thanks.

Is it a content that cannot be changed using the msiexec command?

Looks like something I might be able to use.

SET INSTALLFOLDER=C:\Program Files\Zabbix

msiexec /l*v log.txt /i zabbix_agent-4.0.6-x86.msi /qn^
LOGTYPE=file^
LOGFILE="%INSTALLFOLDER%\za.log"^
ENABLEREMOTECOMMANDS=1^
SERVER=192.168.6.76^
LISTENPORT=12345^
SERVERACTIVE=::1^
HOSTNAME=myHost^
ENABLEPATH=1^
INSTALLFOLDER="%INSTALLFOLDER%"

Would someone be able to explain the "SERVERACTIVE=::1" paramenter for me? Should I just replace ::1 with my Zabbix servers IP, identically to what I would do with "SERVER="?
Assuming I want the ability for both passive and active capabilities.

Also not too sure what "ENABLEPATH=1" does.

Keep getting a installation failed error (as seen in the log, cant see why though) when trying to run the following script as a .bat

SET INSTALLFOLDER=C:\Program Files\zabbix

msiexec /l*v log.txt /i zabbix_agent-4.4.3-win-amd64-openssl.msi /qn^
LOGTYPE=file^
LOGFILE="%INSTALLFOLDER%\za.log"^
ENABLEREMOTECOMMANDS=1^
SERVER=LMRZABBIX^
LISTENPORT=10050^
SERVERACTIVE=LMRZABBIX^
HOSTNAME=myHost^
ENABLEPATH=1^
INSTALLFOLDER="%INSTALLFOLDER%"
