Example Command Line to Install the Trusted Device Agent

The bit rate of the utility must match the architecture of the operating system. Choose one of the following:

• TrustedDeviceSetup.exe - 32-bit installer

• TrustedDeviceSetup-64Bit.exe - 64-bit installer

• The following example installs the 32-bit Trusted Device agent with silent installation, no progress bar, installed in the default location

of C:\Program Files\Dell\TrustedDevice\ and installation logs in C:\Dell.

TrustedDeviceSetup.exe /s /qn /l*v C:\Dell\TrustedDevice.log

• The following example installs the 64-bit Trusted Device agent with silent installation, no progress bar, installed in the default location

of C:\Program Files\Dell\TrustedDevice\.

TrustedDeviceSetup-64Bit.exe /s /qn

Deployment and Collection

Best practice: When installing the Trusted Device agent with third-party utilities, administrators should target specific collections of

devices to avoid a high volume of noise from unsupported platforms.

There are many options to target supported platforms with deployment utilities. For examples of generating collections using the

Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) and options to target specific devices, see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/

sccm/core/clients/manage/collections/create-collections.

Deployments are performed through SCCM based on generated collections. For more information about generating deployment tasks and

scheduling across larger environments, see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sccm/apps/deploy-use/deploy-applications.

Other third-party utilities use similar mechanisms. For information about PDQ Deploy options for creating collections, see https://

support.pdq.com/knowledge-base/1752-viewing-and-creating-collections-in-pdq-inventory.
