• B9_SERVER_ID This is found by navigating to https://yourconsole/support.php > Advanced Configuration > Server ID field 
• B9_CONFIG This will be the path to the configlist.xml that you copied 
• B9_HOSTGROUP This value will be the name of the policy you want to assign it to after install, policy name should be in quotes.
• B9_REGISTRATION_CODE If Registration Codes have been enabled, this must be a valid code.

Example Command:
