Hello
Does anyone know if there is a way to modify the MSI file so when the agent is pushed via GPO, that the desktop icon is not installed on the end users desktop? I have been searching but cannot find any concrete answers on this.

Desktop Shortcut Modification
Best answer by AlexanderChr
Hi
To modify the MSI file so that the desktop icon is not installed when the agent is pushed via Group Policy, you can follow these steps:
1. Download the Windows SDK to access the Orca MSI editor tool.
2. Open the SysAidAgent.msi file using Orca.
3. Navigate to the 'Property' table within Orca.
4. Locate the 'SUBMITSRSHORTCUT' property.
5. Change the value of 'SUBMITSRSHORTCUT' to '0' (disabled) to prevent the desktop shortcut from being created.
6. Click 'Transform' > 'New Transform' to create a transform file (MST).
7. Save the transform file with an appropriate name, such as SysAidAgent.mst.
8. Deploy the MSI with the MST file using Group Policy, ensuring that the MST file is applied.
By following these steps, the desktop icon should not be installed when the agent is deployed.
