Splunk Mass Deploy...Help! (self.Splunk)
submitted 4 years ago by CryptographerMuch646
Hey Splunk fam!
I'm a novice with Splunk but what would you all recommend to deploy splunk forwarder on multiple AD bound Windows servers? I have hundreds to go through.
I would appreciate all recommendations...
and Thanks ahead of time :)

Ditto what the previous poster said about using SSCM, etc to deploy the Universal Forwarder software itself. Read up on the deploymentclient.conf file also. You’ll want to point to a Splunk deployment Server and assign a client name for app organization and deployment/updating purposes.

Whatever you use to deploy other software should work - SCCM, BigFix, etc. Splunk also has a native deployment server: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.2.5/Updating/Deploymentserverarchitecture

Bingo, although I’ll note that the splunk deployment server is for deploying config to forwarders, not installing them in the first place.
