Command Line Operation of the Prerequisite Checker
You can run the prerequisite check silently by executing runprereqchecks.exe /s from the SYSMGMT\srvadmin\windows\PreReqChecker directory on the
Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD. After running the prerequisite check, an HTML file (omprereq.htm) is created in the %Temp%
directory. This file contains the results of the prerequisite check. The Temp directory is typically not X:\Temp, but X:\Documents and
Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp. To find %TEMP%, go to a command line prompt and type echo %TEMP%.
The results are written under the following key for a Managed System:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\DellComputerCorporation\OpenManage\PreReqChecks\MN\
When running the Prerequisite Check silently, the return code from runprereqchecks.exe is the number associated with the highest severity condition for all
the software products. The return code numbers are the same as those used in the registry. Table10-1detailsthecodesthatarereturned.
Table 10-1. ReturnCodesWhileRunningthePrerequisiteCheckSilently
Each software product has an associated value set after running the prerequisite check. Table10-2 provides the list of feature IDs for each software feature.
