PENDING Deploy Crowdstrike using SCCM

[gconner1]

So I am trying to deploy CrowdStrike to our environment using SCCM. I'm fairly new to both PowerShell and SCCM and haven't come across much help for what I am needing. The installer is an .exe and the vendor does not recommend repackaging it as a .msi. This is all they have for me to go on and their support wasn't very helpful:

Automatic installation​

To automate silent installations on many devices, including installations using a deployment tool such as Windows System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM), complete these steps.

1. Use the Google Chrome browser to download the sensor installer from Hosts > Sensor Downloads.
2. Copy your customer ID checksum (CCID) from Hosts > Sensor Downloads.
3. Run or configure your deployment tool to use this command, replacing <installer_filename> with the name of the install file you downloaded, and <CCID> with the CCID from step 2 :
   <installer_filename> /install /quiet /norestart CID=<CCID>
   
   So what I have done is gone to the Software Library in SCCM. Down to Scripts and created a new one. I have \\NetworkSharePath\WindowsSensor.exe /install /quiet /no restart CID=CIDnumber. After saving I go to approve the script and then go to and a device, right click on it and run script. It looks like it is successful but nothing happens. If I run that command locally on a PC it installs just fine. What am I missing?

Now that you know the installation command, why not create an application or even a package (to test the installation) and see if that works.

I have \\NetworkSharePath\WindowsSensor.exe /install /quiet /no restart CID=CIDnumber.

The cm client will NOT have access to the UNC, create an CM app or CM program to deploy this to the computers.

Hi , I am using this command in a bat file and it is always succesful for almost 2 years


@echo off

start /wait \\NetworkSharepath\WindowsSensor.exe /quiet /norestart CID=your CID provided by Crowd Strike

@echo end

Unless you grant access to all computer on both the share and files which is NOT the default. This will fail when deploy via ConfigMgr.

Package it up as an Application as a Script Installer and just use WindowsSensor.MaverickGyr.exe /install /quiet /norestart CID=XXXXXXX
