MMA agent installation and proxy setting

Question

Hi All,

we are doing defender rollout to server estate. currently we are targeting windows 2008 R2 and windows 2012R2. we are installing MMA using SCCM application management and below is the command we use. however proxy part doesn't work. Can anyone help us to identify the reason or best way to get the proxy setting done without user name and password.

msiexec /i mmasetup.msi /qn NOAPM=1 ADD_OPINSIGHTS_WORKSPACE=1 OPINSIGHTS_WORKSPACE_AZURE_CLOUD_TYPE=0 OPINSIGHTS_WORKSPACE_ID="<your workspace ID>" OPINSIGHTS_WORKSPACE_KEY="<your workspace key>" AcceptEndUserLicenseAgreement=1 OPINSIGHTS_PROXY_URL=<<proxyIP:Port>>

Answer 1

@AllenLiu-MSFT ,

command line is working fine now for all servers. it seems that some of the windows 2008 R2 servers having some security related issue that's the reason we noticed the failure of command line.
no need to add user and password for proxy.

msiexec /i mmasetup.msi /qn NOAPM=1 ADD_OPINSIGHTS_WORKSPACE=1 OPINSIGHTS_WORKSPACE_AZURE_CLOUD_TYPE=0 OPINSIGHTS_WORKSPACE_ID="<your workspace ID>" OPINSIGHTS_WORKSPACE_KEY="<your workspace key>" AcceptEndUserLicenseAgreement=1 OPINSIGHTS_PROXY_URL=<<proxyIP:Port>>

Hi, @Rakesh Kumar
Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

I think we need the parameters OPINSIGHTS_PROXY_USERNAME and OPINSIGHTS_PROXY_PASSWORD to specify a user name and password to access an authenticated proxy. Why do you trying to set proxy without user name and password?

When you run your command line manually on a client, will it set up the proxy successfully?
