Deployment tip

For silent deployment of Prey on Windows, download the MSI installer from the vendor’s downloads page or panel, then execute it via elevated command prompt using the pre-generated string from your Prey account panel (e.g., incorporating your Setup Key for automatic authorization without UI prompts). This unattended method installs and configures the agent to connect to your account within minutes, assuming internet access. Post-install, verify or update settings with C:WindowsPreycurrentbinprey config settings update control-panel.api_key SETUPKEY.
