Question:

How can I perform a silent deployment of TheGreenBow SecuExtender VPN client (.msi) while integrating a license key, especially for automated distribution via tools like Intune or GPO?

Answer:

• Problem: Customers often seek to automate the deployment of the TheGreenBow SecuExtender VPN client via its .msi installer for mass distribution (e.g., using Intune or GPO). Challenges arise with ensuring a fully silent installation and correctly integrating the product's license key during the automated process.
• Resolution:
  • Silent Deployment with License Key (Command Line):
    To achieve a silent installation of the SecuExtender VPN client and apply the license key, you can use the msiexec command with specific parameters. This method has been verified to work.
    • Steps:
      1. Ensure you have downloaded the SecuExtender VPN client MSI installer (e.g., TheGreenBow_VPN_ENTERPRISE.msi).
      2. Open Command Prompt or PowerShell as Administrator.
      3. Execute the following command, replacing [download_directory] with the actual path to your MSI file and [license_number] with your specific license key:
         msiexec /i "[download_directory]\TheGreenBow_VPN_ENTERPRISE.msi" /q LICENSE=[license_number]
      4. For example, if your MSI is in D:\ and your license is XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXX:
         msiexec /i "D:\SecuExtender_VPN_Client+Windows 7.7.50.008.msi" /q LICENSE=XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXX
