Silent install issues

[Anonymous]

I'm having some issues getting the silent install for AutoCAD to work. 

We used to use SCCM and everything worked great. We moved over to a different product, and sometime after that the silent installs stopped working.

I've gone through the steps to create the install package for AutoCAD 2021, but when I try to use the setup.exe and .ini file that it generates to install the software, nothing happens. 

This is an example of the command line i'm trying
"C:\Users\username\Desktop\AutoCAD2021\Img\Setup.exe" /I "C:\Users\username\Desktop\AutoCAD2021\Img\AutoCAD2021.ini"

There is no silent switch because I just wanted to get the software to open, which it did once but won't do again. If I just go click on the setup.exe file, nothing happens either, just a security prompt to run the file.

Any ideas?

Hello @Anonymous, 

I recommend reviewing the information regarding distributing Autodesk deployments. Located in the root folder of the deployment location is a batch file, containing command line parameters which can be used to install the deployment on a client machine. The batch file contains command line for a silent installation (commented out in the batch file, so you must remove the comment syntax to use this command line).
