Install inSync client through integrated mass deployment
Elite Enterprise Parameters required during installation
When you install inSync client for integrated mass deployment (IMD), you must include certain parameters that help inSync clients send activation requests to inSync Master. The following table lists these parameters and their purpose.
| Parameter | Purpose |
| Mass deployment token | inSync client uses this as part of the authentication request that it sends to inSync Master. |
| inSync server IP address and port number | inSync client requires this information to connect to inSync Master. Note: Druva recommends using the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the inSync Master. This ensures that if the IP address of the inSync Master changes, you are not required to update the IP address for the inSync Master in the parameter. |
| Proxy server details | inSync client requires this information only if it has to connect to inSync Master through a proxy server. inSync supports the following methods of locating the proxy server:
|
| Custom location for inSync Share folder | For Windows and Mac laptops, you can define the location where inSync must create the inSync Share folder. If the folder does not exist on user's laptop, inSync creates the inSync Share folder in the default location:
|
| Install the inSync client in a specific language | inSync client requires this information only if you want to install the inSync client in one of the following languages: French (fr), German (de), English (en), Japanese (ja). |

Install inSync on Windows laptops
Scenario 1: You can access inSync client executable on a shared network
You can run the following command by using an automated installation tool:
msiexec /qn /i <path to inSync msi> TOKENV2='<mass deployment token>' SERVERLIST="<IP address of inSync Server>:<Backup/sync port>"
For example
msiexec /qn /i \\sharelocation\inSync.msi TOKENV2='33-bb0af8c55da3f9dd32e6ce6ad23e97b5d9951ae6fcf37ee062754ceabc76cf69' SERVERLIST="192.168.50.236:443"
Note: You must follow the exact usage of single (') and double quotation marks (") as provided in the example.
Scenario 2: You can access the inSync Master through a fixed proxy server
You can run the following command by using an automated installation tool:
msiexec /qn /i <path to inSync msi> TOKENV2='<mass deployment token>' SERVERLIST="<IP address of inSync Server>:<Backup/sync port>" WPAD_URL="<URL of PAC file>" PROXY_TYPE="<type of proxy used>" PROXY_SERVER="<IP address of proxy server>:<port number>" SYSTEM_PROXY="1" USERSHAREHOME="<new_location>"
For example
msiexec /qn /i \\sharelocation\inSync.msi TOKENV2='33-bb0af8c55da3f9dd32e6ce6ad23e97b5d9951ae6fcf37ee062754ceabc76cf69' SERVERLIST="192.168.50.236:443" PROXY_SERVER="192.168.54.100:1080" PROXY_TYPE="socks5" USERSHAREHOME="E:\"
Note: You must follow the exact usage of single (') and double quotation marks (") as provided in the example.
Scenario 3: You want to hide the inSync client shortcut
You can use the HEADLESS parameter. You can run the following command by using an automated installation tool:
Note: If you have disabled Show icon inSync icon in system tray for the selected profile, ensure that you use HEADLESS parameter in the script. If you do not use this parameter, inSync client icon continues to appear in the device system trays for the user laptops until the inSync client installation completes. For more information, see Enable inSync notifications.
msiexec /qn /i <path to inSync msi> TOKENV2='<mass deployment token>' SERVERLIST="<IP address of inSync Server>:<Backup/sync port>" HEADLESS="1"
For example
msiexec /qn /i <path to inSync msi> TOKENV2='33-bb0af8c55da3f9dd32e6ce6ad23e97b5d9951ae6fcf37ee062754ceabc76cf69' SERVERLIST="192.168.50.236:443" HEADLESS="1"
Note: You must follow the exact usage of single (') and double quotation marks (") as provided in the example.
Scenario 4: You want to use language parameter for the inSync client
You can install the inSync client using one of the following languages:
French (fr), German (de), English (en), Japanese (ja).
You can run the following command by using an automated installation tool:
msiexec /qn /i <path to inSync msi> TOKENV2='<mass deployment token>' SERVERLIST="<IP address of inSync Server>:<Backup/sync port>" LANGUAGE="<en, fr, de, ja>"
For example
msiexec /qn /i \\sharelocation\inSync.msi TOKENV2='33-bb0af8c55da3f9dd32e6ce6ad23e97b5d9951ae6fcf37ee062754ceabc76cf69' SERVERLIST="192.168.50.236:443" LANGUAGE="en"
Note: You must follow the exact usage of single (') and double quotation marks (") as provided in the example.
Install inSync on Mac laptops
You can add the following lines of code to a text file and save it as inSyncConfig.ini. You do not need to use all parameters simultaneously. Use only the parameters that you need.
ADDRESS = '<IP address of inSync Server>:<Backup/sync port>' TOKEN = '<mass deployment token>' WPAD_URL= '<URL of PAC file>' PROXY_TYPE= '<type of proxy used>' PROXY_SERVER= '<IP address of proxy server>:<port number>' SYSTEM_PROXY= '1' USERSHAREHOME= '<new location of the inSync Share folder>'
For example
ADDRESS = '192.168.50.236:443' TOKEN = '33-bb0af8c55da3f9dd32e6ce6ad23e97b5d9951ae6fcf37ee062754ceabc76cf69' PROXY_TYPE= 'socks5' PROXY_SERVER= '192.168.54.100:1080' SYSTEM_PROXY= '1'
Now, use an automated installation tool to:
- Install inSync Client on Mac laptops.
- Copy the inSyncConfig.ini file to the /Library/Application Support/inSync folder of the Mac laptops.
Note: You must copy the inSyncConfig.ini file to the System Library of the Mac laptops. Ensure that the .ini file is in the folder before the inSync client is launched for the first time.
