Passing Parameters to MSI Deployed with GPO - How to properties into the Properties table when deploying using GPO?

Question

I took a look at this question before opening this one: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/65cbe788-d217-4dc0-bffc-336c5536239e/passing-parameters-to-msi-deployed-with-gpo-mst-file-question

But I did not understand. I am currently trying to install VNC using a MSI package, that needs some properties like PASSWORD, installation mode, etc... (Properties Sintax is PROPERTY=VALUE)

I do know how to do this using msiexec /i but I do not know how to pass those properties when doing a implementation of the MSI package using GPO (On Software Deployment >> MSI Package ...)

How do I do this?

The dude on the answer link I gave above said that he managed to pass the properties to the package but he didnt said how he did it...

Can someone help ?

Kindly follow the steps provided below to resolve your issue.

Open SysAidAgent.msi using Orca and click Transform > New Transform.

On the Tables pane, click Property. You should find the same parameters described above.

You should modify at least the ACCOUNT, SERIAL and SERVERURL parameters, and you can also modify the optional parameters in the list below. Note: The following default values are applied, but are displayed as “NULL”. It is not necessary to add in the default values and attempts to add them again can lead to user error.

ALLOWREMOTECONTROL (default value=”-1″)

ALLOWSUBMITSR (default value=”-1″)

CONFIRMRC (default value=”-1″)

ENABLESYSAIDPS (default value=”0″)
