| DSI 244325 | Site determination via variable doesn't work during agent installation | If you install a client via OSD or you have a new client and you try to install the DSM client via niagnt32.exe /install /bin /force, the site determination fails if you use a variable. Reproduced behavior: - create a user defined variable in DSMC - create DWORD on the client with this value - install the DSM client via niagnt32.exe /install /bin /force | Only newly created endpoints are affected.
