Installation public properties

The following public properties are available for general use during installation:

Installation settings

Public property

Value

Description

AI_DESKTOP_SH

1 (default) or 0

Specifies if desktop shortcuts should be created during installation of Workspace Control.

AI_STARTMENU_SH

1 (default) or 0

Specifies if Start menu shortcuts should be created during installation of Workspace Control.

APPDIR

<FOLDERPATH>

Specifies the directory where Workspace Control will be installed.

If not specified, Workspace Control will be installed in:

  • C:\Program Files (x86)\Ivanti\Workspace Control (64-bit)
  • C:\Program Files\Ivanti\Workspace Control (32-bit)

AUTORUNCOMPOSER

YES or NO (default)

Specifies if the Workspace Composer should start automatically when users log on to the Agent.

Does not apply to Console-only installations.

INHERITSETTINGS

YES or NO (default)

Specifies whether the Agent should revert to inherited settings after establishing its initial connection to the environment.
With NO (or INHERITSETTINGS not provided), the above-mentioned settings will be set specifically for the Agent, overruling inheritance.
With YES, the Agent will initially connect to the environment with the above-mentioned settings, but will then be set to inherit its connection settings (from a Workspace Model or from the global settings).

ADDTOWORKSPACE

<CONTAINER1>|
<CONTAINER2>

Specifies the names of the Workspace Containers that this computer should be a member of after finishing installation. Separate multiple Workspace Container names using bagpipes "|" (optional).
Does not apply to Console-only installations.

Example: ADDTOWORKSPACE=Desktops|Marketing|64Bit

Claim license

Public property

Value

Description

CLAIMLAPTOPLICENSE

YES or NO (default)

Specifies if a concurrent (=laptop seat) license must be claimed and cached from a mixed license pool.

By default, an Agent will not claim a license until a user starts a session on that Agent. Claiming a license requires the Agent to have connection to the Datastore or a Relay Server. If the first session on a laptop is offline, a license cannot be claimed and the license policy will apply unless a license was claimed and cached locally during the installation.

Use CLAIMLAPTOPLICENSE with the value YES to claim a laptop seat license during the unattended install. (A license will be claimed for the laptop even if no user is logged on. Different users of the laptop use the same claimed laptop seat license).

Other values or if left empty will result in the default behavior, which means that the laptop will attempt to claim a named license when a user starts a session.

CLAIMUSERLICENSE

<DOMAIN>\<USER>

Specifies that a named user license should be claimed for a specified user and cached locally.

By default, an Agent will not claim a license until a user starts a session on that Agent. Claiming a license requires the Agent to have connection to the Datastore or a Relay Server. If the first session on an Agent is offline, a license cannot be claimed and the license policy will apply unless a license was claimed and cached locally during the installation.

Use CLAIMUSERLICENSE to claim and cache a named license for the specified user during the unattended install. When that user starts a session, a license is available and the session will proceed.

Example: CLAIMUSERLICENSE=DEMO\ACavendish
