Deployment variables for Windows

Pass the variables as properties to the MSI package, then start the Wazuh agent. The installer doesn't start it. Replace <WAZUH_AGENT_MSI> with the file name of the package you downloaded. For more variables, such as WAZUH_AGENT_GROUP, see the Deployment variables table.

> (Start-Process msiexec.exe -ArgumentList '/i "<WAZUH_AGENT_MSI>" /q WAZUH_ENROLLMENT_TOKEN="<TOKEN>" WAZUH_AGENT_NAME="windows-server-01"' -Wait -PassThru).ExitCode
> Start-Service -Name wazuh

To check that the Wazuh agent enrolled, search its log for the Token bootstrap: enrollment succeeded message. The Wazuh agent also shows as Active in Agents management > Summary on the Wazuh dashboard.

> Select-String -Path "C:\Program Files (x86)\ossec-agent\ossec.log" -Pattern "enrollment succeeded"

Note

With /q, the installer doesn't display errors. To find out why an installation failed, add /l*v C:\wazuh-agent-install.log and check the log.
The installer fails with error 1603 if a system restart is pending. Restart Windows and run the installer again.
Agent names can't contain spaces. Use only letters, digits, dots (.), dashes (-), and underscores (_), for example WAZUH_AGENT_NAME="windows-server-01".
