I want to install Packetbeat on couple of machines in my environment. I am trying to automate the process and creating scripts which installs winpcap on all remote machines silently. I had some issues achieving this, what are the alternatives that I can use instead of winpcap? I have tried npcap and had same issues.

Issues: cannot install winpcap and npcap without User Interaction (the script I generated needs to run in silent method which don't need any UI and I cannot achieve this).

Also, It is really a tough procedure to install beat agents remotely on 'X' number of hosts same time and I don't know how this can be achieved.
