Configuration guide

To effectively use this library pack, the content must be installed and configured appropriately. Below are some suggested steps to install and configure the content properly before use.

Step 1) Install library pack content

Go to the Nexthink Library and install all required content.

Step 2) Configure remote action(s)

Navigate to the manage remote action administration page to review and edit your remote actions.

We recommend the following configurations for these remote actions:

Configuration notes for the ‘Install Configuration Manager SCCM client' remote action

This remote action comes unsigned and must be signed before use.

Nexthink at this point is unable to provide a copy of the remote action "Install Configuration Manager SCCM client" signed with a digital signature. The aforementioned remote action is used to install content from a network share (on the customer environment), however as Nexthink is unable to verify the integrity of the installer at this point (as we are not in control of the customer content), the trustworthiness of the source cannot be guaranteed. Hence Nexthink is currently unable to provide a signed copy.

  • Configure the parameter location where the Configuration Manager client installer resides. NOTE: This can either be locally on the device or on a share which allows all domain devices read access.

  • Configuration example with installation from a shared folder: The remote action's InstallerPath input parameter must be populated with the UNC path to the client installation file, which is often similar to this: \\<Configuration Manager server name>\sms_<site code>\Client\CCMSetup.exe

  • Grant client devices permission to access the shared folder specified in the InstallerPath input parameter.

  • For the RA to function properly, we recommend that you specify the following parameters in the Installation Parameters input parameter: /mp:<Configuration Manager server name>/logon SMSSITECODE=<site code>
