StresStimulus supports unattended installation for automated deployment purposes.

Controller installation

To install a StresStimulus controller unattended, run the PowerShell script below on the target machine. 

Install StresStimulus Unattended
$ProcName = "StresStimulusInstaller_full.exe"

$WebFile = "https://licensing10.stresstimulus.com/update/$ProcName"
 
(New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile($WebFile,"$env:LOCALAPPDATA\$ProcName")
Start-Process -FilePath "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\$ProcName" -ArgumentList "/q" -RedirectStandardOutput "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\stresstimulus_install_log.txt"

To upgrade a StresStimulus trial to an acquired license, your serial number should be activated on the controller manually.

Load agent installation

To install a StresStimulus load agent unattended, run the PowerShell script below on the target machine. 

Install StresStimulus Unattended
$ProcName = "StresStimulusInstaller_full.exe"

$WebFile = "https://licensing10.stresstimulus.com/update/$ProcName"   

netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name='StresStimulus Port' dir='in' action='allow' protocol='TCP' localport='49998,49996'
(New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile($WebFile,"$env:LOCALAPPDATA\$ProcName")
Start-Process -FilePath "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\$ProcName" -ArgumentList "/q", "/agent" -RedirectStandardOutput "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\stresstimulus_install_log.txt"


After installation, the load agent machines do not need to be activated with a license and are ready to use.

Controllers and load agents can be deployed remotely.  To do so, execute the appropriate PowerShell script remotely following this Microsoft PowerShell Remoting guide.
