1.4 Mass Installation¶
Besides an ".exe", we offer ".msi" and ".msix" installers to assist remote deployment. Because settings are stored at C:\ProgramData\WISER Systems and not in the installation folder, you can update, uninstall, or reinstall the app without losing your workstation configurations.
The Tracker App also has a Command Line Interface (CLI) to help mass replicate station installs.
To deploy a settings configuration, set up one station first and configure how you would like to replicate it.
After you are done, copy the settings .ini file and deploy it to all desired stations.
Info
The settings file can be found at C:\ProgramData\WISER Systems\WISER Tracker.ini .
If you have saved sessions with Authentication, you need to perform an extra step at the new stations.
Run the following CLI, or a .bat or .ps1 script, in the Tracker App folder
WISERTracker.exe --update-session-password <session_name> --host <address> --user <user> --password <password>
The session name, host, port, and user are all required must match exactly an entry already present in the settings .ini file. If port is not specified, it will default to 3101. "Host" is the portion of the URL without the http:// or port. For example, if the settings file contains the following,
[Sessions]
...
Warehouse\Arena\1\Username=ReadOnlyUser
Warehouse\Arena\1\RestUrl=https://10.10.0.18:3101
