Installers Huddle for Outlook US (Enterprise) - https://public.huddle.com/a/XLKjve/index.html Installer Features Huddle for Outlook is distributed as a Microsoft Installer (MSI). The MSI is good for each processor architecture; 64-bit processors and 32-bit processors. Packages can be installed by double-clicking them in the file explorer. The msiexec.exe command line utility has additional features available, like non-interactive installation and administrative installation.

Non-interactive Installation msiexec /i huddleoutlooksetup.msi

Additional parameters can be passed at the end of this command line, like;

/q – No interface msiexec /i huddleoutlooksetup.msi /q

/l*v install.log – log everything to install.log file msiexec /i huddleoutlooksetup.msi /q /l*v install.log

DATEENABLED=1 AUTOSTART=1

Installation for All Users / Single User on Machine The installation will always be for all users.

Uninstallation msiexec /u huddleoutlooksetup.msi

It is not necessary to have the MSI file available for uninstallation; alternatively, the package or product code can also be specified.

Administrative installation msiexec /a huddleoutlooksetup.msi TARGETDIR=Z:\software\HuddleForOffice

An "administrative" (network) installation can be initiated. The files get unpacked into the target directory (which should be a network directory), but no other modification is made to the local system. In addition, another (smaller) MSI file is generated in the target directory, which clients can then use to perform a local installation.

Advertisement msiexec /jm huddleoutlooksetup.msi

It is possible to "advertise" Huddle for Outlook to a machine.

Automatic Installation on a Group of Machines With Windows Group Policy, it is possible to automatically install Huddle for Outlook on a group of machines. To do so, perform the following steps:

1. Log on to the domain controller

2. Copy the MSI file into a folder that is shared with access granted to all target machines.

3. Open the MMC snapin "Active Directory users and computers"

4. Navigate to the group of computers that need Huddle for Outlook

5. Open Properties

6. Open Group Policies

7. Add a new polices, and edit it

8. In Computer Configuration/Software Installation, chose New/Package

9. Select the MSI file through the network path

10. Optionally, select that you want the Huddle for Outlook to be uninstalled if the computer leaves the scope of the policy.

Group policy propagation typically takes some time - to reliably deploy the package, all machines will need to be rebooted.
