Notes from the Crowdstrike support web site https://www.crowdstrike.com/resources/free-trials/deployment/
For a normal installation you can use
WindowsSensor.exe /install /quiet CID=MyCIDWithChecksumValue as the initial command line.
The available command line parameters are:
1. CID=<Checksummed Customer ID>
Required for initial installation (available on the Sensor Download page).
2. /install | /repair Installs or repairs the sensor.
3. /quiet Displays no UI and no prompts.
You can also use the command line parameter NO_START=1 to install CrowdStrike in a "gold image". This will install a standard installation but will NOT start the sensor components that connect to the Falcon Platform. After the sensor installer has finished, shut down the machine and capture the image in a powered-off state. Every time you then deploy this "gold image", the sensor will connect to the Falcon Platform after the first boot. Once the newly imaged system boots up, the Falcon sensor will register itself in the Falcon UI and appear in the Host management app.
Attempting to deploy Crowdstrike in a "gold image" without the NO_START=1 parameter will result in a failed installation and a return code of 16388. -
