Hello @Ajal 

From an interactive install, this is coming in a future release, right now it can only be hidden through silent install.

As for the authorization, if you are using the authcode to install, it will automatically be authenticated to your Tenant however if you want to register the machine, the user of the machine is required to log in as we then process and register the machine to that specific user for self-service.

If you don’t register the machine with a specific user, we’ll backup the standard files and folders listed on our documentation, and the administrator (Tenant admin) will be able to do the restores.

Thanks,

Mike

Good Day @Ajal,

 

You can follow the documentation: https://docs.metallic.io/metallic/117388_installing_software_using_third_party_tool.html, which should help with the process of doing silent installation and hide application using any 3rd Party tools like Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM), Jamf etc.,

Let us know if any questions, thank you!

@Arvind i asked reference on below points 

As for the authorization, if you are using the authcode to install, it will automatically be authenticated to your Tenant however if you want to register the machine, the user of the machine is required to log in as we then process and register the machine to that specific user for self-service.

@Ajal - I am sorry, didn’t quite get what you meant.

 

Did you mean you would need to pass the User Name and Password on the Silent Install command instead of AuthCode, so the machine will be registered for that specific User account?

If that’s the ask, then you can have it assigned with the Owner from the Command Center view of the laptop, as of today I don’t think we do pass the user name and password as such on command - but you can assign from Tenant Admin access without having the End-user know, but they can do the Self Service as they will be assigned as the owner of that Laptop from the Command Center view. 

 

Hope this helps with the information, let me know if any questions. Thank you!

Cheers,

Arvind
