DESCRIPTION:

Mass deployment can be done in multiple ways. The following options are recommended depending on the
complexity of the network and available tools:
• Using a third party software deployment tool
If using a software management tool like Microsoft SCCM, the client can be downloaded and packaged
with specific command-line parameters for silent installation on the clients.
• Using Microsoft Global Policy Objects (GPO) or Scripts
With the help of Microsoft GPO or with custom PowerShell or bash scripts, the client can also be pushed. 

RESOLUTION:

For command line installation run command prompt as administrator. Use single quotes to surround the MSI download path of the target host. Normally a tenant ID is entered during the manual installation. The tenant ID is entered after the installation path. The tenant ID is also listed at the end of the MSI filename. Finally, a location of the installation log is entered last. Logs can be used for debugging failed installations.

Example:

PowerShell is similar, double quotes are used around the file path. Example:
