The ProvNoWait=1 parameter instructs the Falcon sensor installer to complete the installation process without waiting for the sensor to successfully connect and provision with the CrowdStrike cloud. This effectively bypasses the default 20-minute provisioning timeout window. This method is specifically designed for deployments on systems with slow or unreliable network connections, or in automated deployment scenarios where waiting for provisioning is impractical. The sensor will attempt to provision in the background once the installation is finished and network connectivity is established.

A. ExtendedWindow=1: This is not a valid or documented command-line parameter for the CrowdStrike Falcon sensor installer.

B. Timeout=0: This is not a valid or documented command-line parameter for the CrowdStrike Falcon sensor installer.

D. Timeout=30: This is not a valid or documented command-line parameter for the CrowdStrike Falcon sensor installer.

highlighting the principle of not waiting for provisioning on slow networks. The --no-wait flag is used

which corresponds to the ProvNoWait=1 parameter's function on Windows. (Document ID: 3001).
