 Description   

Hi

This should be a very small change.

We are deploying the agent with a GPO and it would be a lot simpler, if we could pass the HostnameItem as MSI parameter instead of having to deploy a separate file into the Zabbix Agent config directory.

The list of currently supported parameters: https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/current/en/manual/installation/install_from_packages/win_msi#supported-parameters

Thank you!

This option would really help us deploy the agent on 1000+ servers. I see the HOSTMETADATAITEM is supported out of the box, so why not HOSTNAMEITEM and HOSTINTERFACEITEM ?

 

Thank you

It seems the MSI packaging source code is not available, so no user contributions are possible.  Being able to un-set HOSTNAME and set HOSTNAMEITEM would be very useful improvements.
