Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Use the /INSTALLTOKEN= parameter followed by the unique registration token string.
The INSTALLTOKEN parameter is required during unattended or mass installations to associate the agent instance with the correct tenant in Cortex XDR.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Use the /REGKEY= parameter followed by the tenant activation password.
Why it's wrong here
REGKEY is not the correct parameter name for Cortex XDR installations.
- ✗
Use the /SERVER= parameter to define the cloud instance URL.
Why it's wrong here
The Cortex XDR agent automatically derives the cloud backend based on the installation token.
- ✗
Use the /TENANTID= parameter followed by the fully qualified domain name.
Why it's wrong here
Tenant mapping is handled via the installation token rather than a separate tenant ID switch.
- ✓
Use the /INSTALLTOKEN= parameter followed by the unique registration token string.
Why this is correct
This is the correct syntax for specifying the installation token during MSI execution.
