And on Windows 2008 R2 using the SuperDOS script:

PowerShell doesn't have Invoke-Webrequest? That's a really old cmdlet. I noticed the Debian system having issues is not patched, is this Windows maybe not patched either? We can always get the script another way, but not having PowerShell makes it a little harder.

Powershell versions did not update with Windows Update by default in 2008 R2 to my knowledge.

It doesn't. Just read that on the Google. I am updating now.

Had to restore the debian system from backup. I'll patch it before I try installing the SS agent again.

Just now?

Yes.

That's not good. Those errors don't appear to be from the install, though, they appear to be from existing packages that can't update.

Yea, that thing is FUBAR'd! Guess I have something else to work on tomorrow

So it definitely has problems even on the restore without any SS on there? Not that I'm happy about that, but sure didn't want to be the cause of any problems.

JaredBusch

Googled to verify..

Invoke-Webrequest was implemented with Powershell 3.0 in 2012.

That is after Server 2008 R2.

Correct. Seems there are some other things going sideways on that box. Good thing it is only a Proxy server. I'll spin up a new VM for it and move the limited data over tomorrow.

Update to Windows Management Framework 5.1 can help with that. Just need .Net 4.5 or higher.

For Mac the installer should work fine, I believe. It's pretty new. For scanning, we are working on getting it to keep reporting. It keeps working, but acts like it isn't. So it collects data, but says that the data is old.

Another Mac install fail. bash: Line 243 /etc/hosts: Permission denied

scottalanmiller

Argh. Okay. On a plane now. Will look when I can.

@dustinb3403 said in Installing the agent:

Do you have wget or curl installed, I believe debian comes with both. So either should work.

wget worked for Debian. Ubuntu failed but that is because of root being disabled by default.

Just switch into root. Ubuntu doesn't disable root, they just don't hand out the password.

Yes, it it... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo

By default, the root account password is locked in Ubuntu.

This is because you already have Salt. This will take a bit more work. But can be done pretty easily.

Here is the latest issue:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>choco uninstall salt-minion
Chocolatey v0.10.8
Uninstalling the following packages:
salt-minion
salt-minion is not installed. Cannot uninstall a non-existent package.

Chocolatey uninstalled 0/1 packages. 1 packages failed.
 See the log for details (C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\logs\chocolatey.log).

Failures
 - salt-minion - salt-minion is not installed. Cannot uninstall a non-existent package.

If a package uninstall is failing and/or you've already uninstalled the
 software outside of Chocolatey, you can attempt to run the command
 with `-n` to skip running a chocolateyUninstall script, additionally
 adding `--skip-autouninstaller` to skip an attempt to automatically
 remove system-installed software. This will only remove the packaging
 files and not things like software installed to Programs and Features.

If a package is failing because it is a dependency of another package
 or packages, then you may first need to consider if it needs removed
 as it is typically installed as a dependency for a reason. If you
 decide that you still want to remove it, head into
 `$env:ChocolateyInstall\lib` and find the package folder you want
 removed. Then delete the folder for the package. This option should
 only be used as a last resort.

Failures
 - salt-minion - salt-minion is not installed. Cannot uninstall a non-existent package.

If a package uninstall is failing and/or you've already uninstalled the
 software outside of Chocolatey, you can attempt to run the command
 with `-n` to skip running a chocolateyUninstall script, additionally
 adding `--skip-autouninstaller` to skip an attempt to automatically
 remove system-installed software. This will only remove the packaging
 files and not things like software installed to Programs and Features.

If a package is failing because it is a dependency of another package
 or packages, then you may first need to consider if it needs removed
 as it is typically installed as a dependency for a reason. If you
 decide that you still want to remove it, head into
 `$env:ChocolateyInstall\lib` and find the package folder you want
 removed. Then delete the folder for the package. This option should
 only be used as a last resort.

Awesome. The new installer for Windows is a little more aggressive
