How to deploy the Metadefender Kiosk App via SCCM

MetaDefender Kiosk does not natively support full command-line installation with initial configuration. This workaround outlines a process of simplifying setup by preconfiguring configuration files on a lab machine and deploying via SCCM.

Steps to Configure

Step 1: Preparation (Lab Environment Setup)

1. Install Kiosk manually on a lab computer. This lab computer will be used to gather the desired initial configuration that will be imported.

2. Complete the initial setup, including:

   • Admin account configuration
   • Any custom application settings

3. Uninstall the application once setup is complete.

4. Backup configuration files:

   • Path: C:\\ProgramData\\OPSWAT\\Metadefender
   • These contain all the initial setup details required for deployment.

Step 2: Deployment via SCCM

1. Preload configuration:

   • Copy the backed-up folder to: C:\\ProgramData\\OPSWAT\\Metadefender
   • Tip: Use SCCM’s pre-deployment script or task sequence.

2. Silent Installation via Command Line: Use the documented CLI parameters from https://www.opswat.com/docs/mdkiosk/installation/installing-metadefender-kiosk-from-the-command-line

3. License Activation Using REST API (via cURL):

curl -X GET "<https://activation.dl.opswat.com/activation?key=<activation-key>>&deployment=<deployment-unique-ID>&quantity=1" > activation.yml

• Proceed to activate the Kiosk offline.
