Automated Deployment and Uninstallation of AnyDesk

AnyDesk’s command-line interface provides powerful ways to automate processes, resulting in efficient deployment and uninstallation of the software across a wide range of devices. Whether you’re looking to seamlessly install, pre-configure, or remove AnyDesk, the command-line interface offers the flexibility to meet your needs.

Automated Deployment

The command-line features can be seamlessly combined with software management/deployment tools to effortlessly implement and configure AnyDesk across multiple devices without manual intervention.

It’s recommended to provide a customized MSI installation package and pre-configured versions of our .exe Client/Service files, which can be easily distributed. These can be further personalized through the custom client generator on my.anydesk.com.

The standard module types are as follows:

  • Default: The standard client EXE version from anydesk.com for initiating and receiving connections.
  • Client Module EXE: The EXE version of a standard client that can only receive connections.
  • Service Module EXE: The EXE version of a standard client that can only initiate connections.

These can be efficiently deployed through scripting using the commands detailed in the Installation Commands section or through other deployment tools.

For instance, a batch script for installing AnyDesk, registering the license key, and setting a password might look like this:

Uninstallation of AnyDesk

When AnyDesk is no longer required on certain devices, it can be uninstalled through the operating system’s built-in uninstaller or, alternatively, via the command-line interface.

The command --remove or --uninstall can be used for this purpose, as mentioned in the Installation Commands section.

--uninstall initiates the uninstallation process for the AnyDesk client, displaying a GUI prompt to guide the user through the uninstallation process.

In cases where the uninstallation of AnyDesk needs to be purely scripted or managed through software, --remove is the appropriate parameter to use.

Additionally, for a completely silent uninstallation, adding --silent prevents error messages that may occur during the uninstallation process.

For a silent uninstallation without user input, the command would be:

--remove only uninstalls the AnyDesk application from the Windows operating system but does not remove remaining files. Files found in the following default directories must be manually deleted or removed through a script:

  • C:\Program Files (x86)\AnyDesk
  • %appdata%\AnyDesk
  • %programdata%\AnyDesk

Connecting via the Command-Line Interface

In situations where AnyDesk needs to be integrated with existing software, connecting through the command-line interface using the commands and parameters described in the Connection Commands can be a powerful tool to achieve this.

Modifying AnyDesk Shortcuts

The parameters found in the Connection Commands can be used to modify existing desktop shortcuts created by AnyDesk.

This can be done by adding a parameter to the “Target” field in the shortcut’s “Properties.” For example:
