Is there a place that lists the command line switches to automate the installer to work with Microsoft Device Manager (Intune)? Do they even exist?

I am attempting to create an automated install for Monarch 2022 using MDM.  I can convert the EXE install file to MDM formats but I need the command line switches so it doesn't need any user intervention.  Do these switches exist?  If so I can't find them anywhere on the Altair site.

    Hi Mark,

    If I understand your question properly, you are able to get the Monarch installer options by running the installer from the command line, with the /? option:

    .\AltairMonarchStandaloneInstallerEn.exe /?

    I'm attaching the Monarch Advanced Deployment Guide, which further details the various command line options available.

    If you are using Altair Hosted Hyper Works Units (HHWU) or Altair License Server on-prem you can automate the Monarch Complete desktop v2022 per following: 

    In order to package Monarch Desktop v2022 you need to do in couple of steps:

    1. AltairMonarchStandaloneInstallerEn.exe -quiet -activationType=altairLicenseServer
    2. Post deployment run user scope: C:\Program Files\Altair Monarch 2022\security\almutil.exe -a1auth -code "XXXXXXXX"

    Please note that the code expires after 15 minutes.

    if machine scope: C:\Program Files\Altair Monarch 2022\security\almutil.exe -a1auth -code "XXXXXXXX" -system

    For Altair license server on-prem:  -activationType=altairLicenseServer -licenseServer=6200@localhost

    Please see attached document for Altair License server on-prem installation and configuration.

    If you are using the Datawatch legacy license file/serial key or Datawatch License server, you can refer to the Adv Deployment document that Nicolas provided.
