Deploying AnyDesk

Automatically Setting a Password after Installation
For security reasons, a password can not be set from the command line directly as this would enable malicious users to spy the password from the command line in Task Manager. Instead, a pipe is used to set the password. For example, to set a password for an already installed AnyDesk, use this syntax in a batch file:
echo my_password123 | anydesk.exe --set-password
Example
To install AnyDesk, set a password and register a license key from a batch file at the same time, you could use the following code:
@echo off
AnyDesk.exe --install 'C:InstallAnyDeskHere' --start-with-win --silent --create-shortcuts --create-desktop-icon
echo licence_keyABC | 'C:InstallAnyDeskHereAnyDesk.exe' --register-license
echo password123 | 'C:InstallAnyDeskHereAnyDesk.exe' --set-password
This will install AnyDesk and wait for the installation to finish, then it will set a password in the newly installed AnyDesk.
