Automated Workstation Setup using Logon Scripts 

Pearl Echo supports automating the Pearl Echo Workstation installation using 

Windows Logon Scripts. To silently deploy the Pearl Echo Workstation agent:  

1. Create a shared directory that contains the Pearl Echo Workstation 

installation files.  Share the directory as echows 

2.  Create a blank file called firsttime.txt in the new directory. 

3.  Edit the file servset.ini in the new directory and specify the server IP and 

Port that you entered during the Pearl Echo Server Software installation.  

In addition you will need to specify your configuration preference   open 

or closed.  If you have users that will roam outside of your private 

network, you can optionally enter the public address (FWIP) of your Pearl 

Echo server. 

Example:  

[Echo 7.0 settings] 

IP=192.168.0.1 

FWIP=echoservername.mycompany.com 

Port=58000 

Configuration=open 

At login, the workstation will need to run the command \Setup.exe /s 

/v"/qn" where  is the file path to the new directory (note: do not 

change spacing format around quotation marks)  

The following is an example of running a silent install from a user's login 

script. Installation is run one time for each machine. 

@echo off 

 Checking for first time on target machine 

if exist c:\firsttime.txt goto vend  

copy \\servername\echows\firsttime.txt c:\firsttime.txt 

\\servername\ echows \Setup.exe /s /v"/qn"  

:vend
