 #### Q: Can Windows Agents be installed headlessly?
 
-A: Yes - Agent installers (v4.10+) can be installed headlessly.
+A: Yes - Agent installers (v4.10+) can be installed headlessly, either with a [Powershell script](#using-a-powershell-script) or a [Windows batch script](#using-a-batch-script).
 
-##### Requirements
+##### Using a Powershell Script
 
-The following files are needed:
+###### Prerequisites
+
+- Agent installer (EXE, not MSI) with a minimum core Agent version of 4.10
+- A Powershell script (.ps1 file), such as the one shown below:
+
+```powershell
+param (
+    [string]$environment,
+    [string]$connectionName,
+    [array]$tagParams,
+    [string]$installPath
+)
+
+# Get install path or use default
+if ($installPath -eq '') {
+    $installPath = "C:\Program Files\Ganymede"
+}
+Write-Output "Will install to $installPath"
+
+# Get Connection name, or use computer name as default
+if ($connectionName -eq '') {
+    $connectionName = $env:COMPUTERNAME
+}
+Write-Output "Connection will be named $connectionName"
+
+# Define the content of the YAML file
+$content = @"
+environment: $environment
+name: $connectionName
+tagParams:`n
+"@
+
+# Add Tag configuration to Connection
+foreach ($tag in $tagParams) {
+    $content += "  - tagTypeId: $($tag.tagTypeId)`n    displayValue: $($tag.displayValue)`n"
+}
+
+# Save the content to connection.yaml in the same folder
+$filePath = Join-Path -Path $PSScriptRoot -ChildPath "connection.yaml"
+$content | Out-File -FilePath $filePath -Encoding utf8
+Write-Output "File 'connection.yaml' created successfully at $filePath"
+
+# Create the install directory if it doesn't exist
+New-Item -Path $installPath -Type "directory" -Force >$null
+
+# Copy the connection.yaml to the install directory
+Copy-Item -Path $PSScriptRoot\connection.yaml -Destination $installPath -Force
+Write-Output "File 'connection.yaml' copied to $installPath"
+
+# Copy the Agent installation executable (agent.exe) to the install directory
+$agentFileName = Get-ChildItem -Path $PSScriptRoot -Filter *.exe |Select -First 1
+Copy-Item -Path $PSScriptRoot\$agentFileName -Destination $installPath -Force
+Write-Output "File $agentFileName copied to $installPath"
+
+# Run agent.exe and wait for it to finish
+$agentInstallerPath = Join-Path -Path $installPath -ChildPath $agentFileName
+Start-Process -FilePath $agentInstallerPath -Wait
+
+Write-Output "$agentFileName has finished running"
+```
+
+###### Steps for executing headless installation script
+
+1. Ensure PowerShell is installed on your system.
+1. Ensure the agent executable (.exe) and script file (.ps1) are in the same directory.
+1. From a Powershell terminal, navigate to this directory.
+1. Run the script using the following command:
+
+```powershell
+.\<script_file>.ps1 -environment <Environment> -connectionName <ConnectionName> -tagParams <TagsArray> -installPath <InstallPath>
+```
+
+Parameters are defined as follows:
+- **-environment** (string, required): Specifies the full environment name to install the agent in (e.g., development, staging, production).
+- **-tagParams** (array, required): An array of tags to include in the YAML file. Each tag should be an object with tagTypeId and displayValue properties.
+- **-connectionName** (string, optional): Sets the name for the connection. Defaults to the computer name if not provided.
+- **-installPath** (string, optional): Path to the installation directory. Defaults to C:\Program Files\Ganymede if not specified.
+
+###### Example
+
+```powershell
+.\agent_installer_script.ps1 -environment "env-prod" -connectionName "Hamilton PC 6" -tagParams @(@{tagTypeId="instrument"; displayValue="H6"}, @{tagTypeId="site"; displayValue="New York"}) -installPath "C:\Install\Agent\Here"
+```
+
+##### Using a Batch Script
+
+###### Prerequisites
 
 - Agent installer (EXE, not MSI) with a minimum core Agent version of 4.10
 - Configuration file (YAML); examples of this can be found in the directory specified by the installer when not installed headlessly. Start with an existing YAML configuration and modify as follows:
