Silent Installer Option for Proxy

It is possible to use one of the following methods to complete a silent installation of the File System Proxy Service.

CAUTION: For all Active Directory versions, aside from Windows 2012 R2, the silent installer does not prompt an error message if a duplicate SPN value exists in the targeted domain for Option 1: Run as LocalSystem. Having duplicate SPN’s in the targeted Active Directory environment prohibits connection to the proxy service, resulting in a failed scan.

If a desired SPN already exists in a Windows 2012 R2 domain, the silent installer displays the following message:

There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A script required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.

To resolve the problem, remove the duplicate SPN value and rerun the installer to complete installation. For any additional issues, verbose logging is included in the silent installer and creates an install.txt file on the desktop.

Option 1: Run as LocalSystem​

Follow the steps to install the File System Proxy Service on the targeted proxy servers with a silent installer.

Step 1 – Copy the FileSystemProxy.msi executable to the desktop of the server designated as the proxy server.

Step 2 – Run the following command:

msiexec /i FileSystemProxy.msi /qb /l*v install.log SVC_ACCOUNT_TYPE=SYSTEM

  • To add a non-default install directory, append PRODUCTDIR="[path]" to the command.

    • path – The path to the desired installation directory and must include ...\STEALTHbits\StealthAUDIT\FSAA\...

    For example:

    msiexec /i FileSystemProxy.msi /qb /l*v install.log SVC_ACCOUNT_TYPE=SYSTEM PRODUCTDIR="E:\STEALTHbits\StealthAUDIT\FSAA"

The SPN value is automatically added to the computer object in Active Directory with this option.

Option 2: Run as a Service Account​

Follow the steps to install the File System Proxy Service on the targeted proxy servers with a silent installer.

Step 1 – Copy the FileSystemProxy.exe executable to the desktop of the server designated as the proxy server.

Step 2 – Run the following command:

msiexec /i FileSystemProxy.msi /qb /l*v install.log SVC_ACCOUNT_TYPE=DOMAIN SVC_USERNAME=DOMAIN\USERNAME SVC_PASSWORD="secret"

  • DOMAIN\USERNAME – The service account credentials, which need to be a member the Local Administrators group and have theLog on as a service local policy  (Local Policies > User Rights Assignment)

  • secret – The password for the credentials provided above (within quotes)

  • To add a non-default install directory, append PRODUCTDIR="[path]" to the command.

    • path – The path to the desired installation directory and must include ...\STEALTHbits\StealthAUDIT\FSAA\...

    For example:

    msiexec /i FileSystemProxy.msi/qb /l*v install.log SVC_ACCOUNT_TYPE=DOMAIN SVC_USERNAME=DOMAIN\USERNAME SVC_PASSWORD="secret" PRODUCTDIR="E:\STEALTHbits\StealthAUDIT\FSAA"
