Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When using MDM Systems for managing the company devices and software they need a MSI file to push software to the client. At least the ones I tested. So an MSI installer in addition to the .EXE would be great.

Describe the solution you'd like
Deploy a MSI

Describe alternatives you've considered
technicaly you can use a third party tool to convert the exe to msi but a installer from the netbird team would be cleaner

Hello @support-tt, thanks for the request, we are planing to review the windows installer in the next quarter. Currently the installer .EXE can silently install the client using the flag /S, does your MDM support this mode?

@mlsmaycon the /s switch is not working with the current build netbird_installer_0.25.6_windows_amd64.exe. Is this feature deprecated or is there an additional silent parameter? A MSI package is still not available?

Hello @hacklhar the flag is /S.

We have an MSI available here: https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/releases/download/v0.25.6/netbird_installer_0.25.6_windows_amd64.msi

We will be adding it to the dashboard

Before using the MSI, you need to remove the previous installed versions via installer

Hey @mlsmaycon
What options do we have setting the management URL during installation?
A per user option would be very useful. I'll try to explain the use case:

  • you have a shared machine mainly used by Juliet from DEV Team
  • sometimes Peter from marketing signs in
    It appears to me, that Peter can use the Netbird connection of Juliet because it runs as service, correct?
    It would be great if we could have sessions per windows user profile.
