Hello!

I am trying to remotely install RealVNC Server via application deployment.

One of the steps for cloud connectivity requires running an elevated .bat file.

Using Cloud connectivity tokens – RealVNC Help Center

@ECHO OFF
IF NOT EXIST C:\ProgramData\RealVNC-Service\vncserver.d\CloudCredentials.bed (
    "C:\Program Files\RealVNC\VNC Server\vncserver.exe" -service -joinCloud <TOKEN>
    echo VNC Server successfully joined to cloud > C:\vnccloudjoined.txt
)

Is there any way to run this as an administrator without user input?

Thank you!

Currently, our plan is to have a monthly ritual of:

1. Update the golden image from within its VM
2. Capture the new golden image from the console
3. Update all answer files to use the new image
4. Re-create all the installation media with the new image

Also, to keep workstations in storage up to date, we will have to boot them and re-image them as part of this ritual. 

Is there another established way of accomplishing this?

Great, thank you again!

When does an endpoint begin pulling applications from the console?

Ideally I'd like to be able to boot from USB, allow the machine to sit for 30 minutes to image and install apps automatically from the answer file, then be able to give the machine to a user - ready to use without me having to touch anything.

Is this possible, or does a user need to be logged in for apps to begin installing?

Awesome. Thanks for the quick response.

I am not having any problems with deployments, just being proactive about the problems that will happen when users are involved.

Hello, I was wondering if there is any way to track the status of application deployment.

Lacking this functionality, I see no advantage in deploying applications individually over just installing them on the reference image.
