Is there a way to install or run Host and automatically point to a private server? Maybe a batch file that runs host with a parameter, or...? I've looked at cmd line params and haven't seen one but this seems like a not so unusual need.

Hello Tom,

Thank you for your message.

Is there a way to install or run Host and automatically point to a private server?

Yes, there is a way to do this - you can pre-configure a custom Host/Agent installer, using the MSI Configurator tool. In this case, you need to specify your custom server address on Step 3 - Advanced Options of the configuration process:

You can specify your custom server address for either Standard MSI Package, One-click Installer or Agent package.

Hope that helps.
