: Determines if the encryption options are user-configurable (Value often locks specific settings as per admin policy).
| Component | Command Snippet | Explanation & Effect | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | msiexec | Invokes the Windows Installer service to install, modify, or configure software products on Windows systems. | | Install Option | /i | The standard flag to install or configure a product, followed by the path to the .msi file. | | User Interface Level | /qr | "Reduced UI" mode. It suppresses most dialogs and wizard pages, but displays a modal progress bar so the user knows the installation is running, without requiring interaction. | | MSI File Name | SophosOutlookAddinSetup.msi | The actual installer file. Note: Some variations may exist like SophosOutlookAddinSetupUTM.msi depending on your specific gateway appliance version. | | Enable Type (T) | T=1 | Defines the available feature set for the Add-in. Setting T=1 likely enables both spam reporting and encryption (as opposed to limiting to one function). | | Eco Label (EC) | EC=3 | Defines specific operational modes or data policies (e.g., encryption or routing) within the Sophos ecosystem. Setting 3 often correlates with "both features enabled" or "full functionality". | | Client ID (C) | C=1 | Assigns an identifier for internal tracking. 1 usually indicates a standard client configuration that instructs the Add-in to connect to the primary Sophos gateway. | | Ignore Error (I) | I=1 | Forces the installer to skip certain non-critical errors (like missing dependencies) and complete the installation anyway. This is crucial for silent or logged deployments. | | Workgroup (WG) | WG=1 | | | Alternative Short Form | T=1 EC=3 C=1 I=1 | Some documentation uses shortened single-letter variables, which achieve the same configuration effect as above. |
If you still see errors, enable verbose logging and consult %temp%\SophosOutlookInstall.log . For further help, contact Sophos Support with the property names EC3 , C1 , I1 , WORK — they can confirm if those are legitimate internal parameters or a transcription error from a legacy script. msiexec qr i sophosoutlookaddinsetupmsi t1 ec3 c1 i1 work
: Controls the installation's user interface level. Instead of a full wizard with interactive buttons ( /qf ), /qr configures a Reduced UI . The user or administrator will see passive progress bars during the installation sequence, but no modal pop-up menus, option boxes, or confirmation screens will interrupt the execution flow.
msiexec /i "SophosOutlookAddinSetup.msi" /qr T1=1 EC3=1 C1=1 I1=1 : Determines if the encryption options are user-configurable
: The UI level switch. "Q" stands for quiet, and "r" stands for reduced UI. This shows a progress bar to the user but requires no interaction (no "Next" or "Finish" buttons). The Package Name
Likely sets the default encryption behavior or level for the add-in. Connection | | User Interface Level | /qr | "Reduced UI" mode
