Unifi-installer.exe 5.4.11 [2025]

| Category | Change | Why It Matters | |----------|--------|----------------| | Installer UX | Silent install (/S) support added. | Enables mass deployments via SCCM, Intune, or custom scripts. | | Database Handling | Automatic MongoDB journal replay on first start after an unclean shutdown. | Reduces the incidence of “corrupt DB” messages that previously forced manual repair. | | Service Management | Updated to use NSSM 2.24 (instead of 2.22). | Improves handling of log rotation and service recovery options. | | Security | Bundles a new default keystore with 2048‑bit RSA keys, and disables the legacy MD5‑based password hashing. | Aligns with industry best practices for TLS and password storage. | | Compatibility | Explicitly marks the installer as compatible with Windows Server 2016 (previously only 2012 R2). | Allows enterprises to move to newer OS versions without manual workarounds. | | Telemetry | Adds a non‑intrusive usage‑statistics opt‑in flag (--telemetry=off). | Provides Ubiquiti with anonymized data to prioritize bug fixes while respecting privacy. |

None of these changes altered the core controller’s feature set—Wi‑Fi roaming, guest portals, or VLAN tagging—yet they dramatically improved the install‑and‑run experience.

Let me be brutally honest: You should not expose version 5.4.11 to the internet.
