PARAMETER FILE CREATOR
"Parameter File Creator" is a tool to create the [Parameters file] that is used for configuring the server with the Express
Setup (see Chapter 5 for details).
If you use the Parameters file created by the Express Setup and the Parameter File Creator to operate the setup, the
setup can be done automatically except for a few key inputs to confirm the specification. You can also install the system
with the same specifications as before when re-installing the system. We recommend you create a [Parameters file] to
setup the servers from the EXPRESSBUILDER.
When using a floppy disk, a USB floppy disk drive is required.
IMPORTANT: You cannot create a [Parameters file] for Microsoft Windows Server 2003
x64 Editions.
NOTE: You can install Windows Server 2003 without a [Parameters file]. Also, you can
modify/newly create the[Parameters file] during the setup with the EXPRESSBUILDER.
