I have roughly 100 Global VPN clients to update. I have the latest msi file. What are the switches to update the VPN client silently?

Suggest you read this, especially the Installation section.
(And I won't even question why you could not find this document with a simple Google search...)
You state you must "update" - well, if you have older versions installed, a newer one won't install even if you use the proper command line switch...

Let me search for you...
/quiet, /q, or /qn perform silent installations for MSI files.
Reference: https://www.silentinstall.org/msiexec/
So, those options do not work.
msiexec /i C:\Brother\GVCInstall64.msi /qn

Hi @truckbox
If you have ManageEngine DesktopCentral, You can do bulk silent GVC installation / uninstallation.
Thanks for the reply. I do use a remote management tool. However, if I cannot get it to work locally, the script will not work in a management tool. I am starting to think a silent install (update) is not possible for the Global VPN client.
Now the client is a exe file.
How can I silently install from the exe file?
Thanks!
Download the exe file from the website.
Open the exe file with 7-zip and save the displayed msi file.
Use the documented switches to install the msi file.
Again, Google can be your friend…
