--- title: Client Deployment weight: 400 pre: "2.4. " --- You can deploy using a number of methods, some are covered in [Client](/docs/en/client/#configuring-rustdesk) Alternatively you can use mass deployment scripts with your RMM, Intune etc., the ID and password is output by the script, you should collect this, or split this off into different scripts to collect the ID and password. The permanent password can be changed from random to one you prefer using by changing the content inside `()` after `rustdesk_pw` to your preferred password for powershell and the corresponding line for any other platform. ### PowerShell ```ps $ErrorActionPreference= 'silentlycontinue' # Assign the value random password to the password variable $rustdesk_pw=(-join ((65..90) + (97..122) | Get-Random -Count 12 | % {[char]$_})) # Get your config string from your Web portal and Fill Below rustdesk_cfg="configstring" ################################### Please Do Not Edit Below This Line ######################################### # Run as administrator and stays in the current directory if (-Not ([Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal][Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent()).IsInRole([Security.Principal.WindowsBuiltInRole]::Administrator)) { if ([int](Get-CimInstance -Class Win32_OperatingSystem | Select-Object -ExpandProperty BuildNumber) -ge 6000) { Start-Process PowerShell -Verb RunAs -ArgumentList "-NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command `"cd '$pwd'; & '$PSCommandPath';`""; Exit; } } $rdver = ((Get-ItemProperty "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\RustDesk\").Version) if($rdver -eq "1.2.2") { write-output "RustDesk $rdver is the newest version" exit } If (!(Test-Path c:\Temp)) { New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path c:\Temp > null } cd c:\Temp powershell Invoke-WebRequest "https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk/releases/download/1.2.2/rustdesk-1.2.2-x86_64.exe" -Outfile "rustdesk.exe" Start-Process .\rustdesk.exe --silent-install -wait $ServiceName = 'Rustdesk' $arrService = Get-Service -Name $ServiceName -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue if ($arrService -eq $null) { Start-Sleep -seconds 20 } while ($arrService.Status -ne 'Running') { Start-Service $ServiceName Start-Sleep -seconds 5 $arrService.Refresh() } cd $env:ProgramFiles\RustDesk\ $rustdesk_id = (.\RustDesk.exe --get-id | out-host) net stop rustdesk > null .\RustDesk.exe --config $rustdesk_cfg $ProcessActive = Get-Process rustdesk -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue if($ProcessActive -ne $null) { stop-process -ProcessName rustdesk -Force } Start-Process "$env:ProgramFiles\RustDesk\RustDesk.exe" "--password $rustdesk_pw" -wait Write-Output "..............................................." # Show the value of the ID Variable Write-Output "RustDesk ID: $rustdesk_id" # Show the value of the Password Variable Write-Output "Password: $rustdesk_pw" Write-Output "..............................................." ``` ### Windows batch/cmd ```bat REM Assign the value random password to the password variable set rustdesk_pw= REM Get your config string from your Web portal and Fill Below set rustdesk_cfg="configstring" REM ############################### Please Do Not Edit Below This Line ######################################### if not exist C:\TEMP\ md C:\TEMP\ cd c:\temp\ curl -L "https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk/releases/download/1.2.2/rustdesk-1.2.2-x86_64.exe" -o rustdesk.exe rustdesk.exe --silent-install $ServiceName = 'Rustdesk' $arrService = Get-Service -Name $ServiceName -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue cd "c:\Program Files\RustDesk\" for /f "delims=" %i IN ('rustdesk.exe --get-id ^| more') DO set rustdesk_id=%i net stop rustdesk > null RustDesk.exe --config %rustdesk_cfg% net start rustdesk > null RustDesk.exe --password %rustdesk_pw% echo "..............................................."
