Auto-Deploy Command-Line Options

Use the Command-Line Configuration (CLC) /autodeploy and autodeployfromsettings major commands to create an Auto-Deploy package that automatically distributes preconfigured Desktop Client and CSM Administrator installations and connections.

Arguments passed through the /autodeploy are saved to the C:\ProgramData\Trebuchet\trebuchet.settings file. You can then use /autodeployfromsettings to create the Auto-Deploy package from those settings.

Note: In the following examples, square brackets (example: [Common]) denote placeholder variables for customer data. Replace these variables, including the brackets, with your own values.
