Analytics Client Service prevents scripted installs

This has been an ongoing issue for ages, and I've finally gotten aggravated enough to post about it.

 

We're in the process of automating the rollout of Revit 2025, and everything works perfectly unless the Autodesk Analytics Client Service is running. We have to kill the processes, or the script just sits there waiting for the installer to run. Every. Single. Time. The moment we kill the processes, everything works as expected. This happens with all Autodesk installs, not just this version of Revit we're installing.

 

The Autodesk Analytics Client Service is a menace, and needs to be fixed or eliminated. We've tried removing the executables. They get automatically re-installed. We kill the processes (there are almost always TWO that are running on any given machine). They start up again within minutes. For now, we've set up a GPO to block ADPClientService.exe from running altogether.

 

Edit: Fixed a letter in the title.

For those that can't/don't want to set up GPOs, the Powershell command you can add right before the Revit installer:

 

Get-Process | Where-Object { $_.Name -eq "ADPClientService" } | Stop-Process
