The Parallels Management Agent shell script—InstallAgentUnattend.sh—is used to automate the Parallels Mac Management Agent installation.

This works great for on site computers, or with machines connected to VPN.

What needs more research, is line 247 in the script: pma_agent_registrator (this file is responsible for the registration portion of the setup process). I would like to figure out how to pass the web enrollment URL (example: https://DMZ.DOMAIN.COM/ParallelsMacManagement.Enrollment) to automatically enroll off site, non-VPN machines.

Expand>

 

But…for the connected machines, the script downloads the DMG, mounts the DMG, installs the agent, enrolls the Mac, and dismounts the DMG. Honestly, it’s all pretty cool. If you decide to embed the credentials, I do recommend creating a PKG.

When the script runs, you should see this at the end:

If you have any issues, such as KDC and KRBv5 errors, check to make sure ports 8760 and 8761 are open (check your AV and firewalls)

How to test port: terminal > telnet 11.11.11.11 8760 (where the IP is your internal proxy server)

Problem:

• Show Document Gallery when opening Word is selected

Solution:

• Open terminal
• Type: defaults write com.microsoft.office ShowDocStageOnLaunch FALSE
• Open Office App

 

This works by changing the Show Document Gallery when opening Word from selected, to not selected. The command could also be added to your scripts in packaging, which would look something like this:

#!/bin/bash
sudo installer -pkg "serializer.pkg" -target / -verbose >> log.txt
sudo installer -pkg "office.pkg" -target / -verbose >> log.txt
defaults write com.microsoft.office ShowDocStageOnLaunch FALSE
