Fixing a Faulty Server Administrator Installation 
on Supported Windows Operating Systems
You can fix a faulty installation by forcing a reinstall and then performing an 
uninstall of Server Administrator. 
To force a reinstall:
1
Find out the version of Server Administrator that was previously installed.
2
Download the installation package for that version from the Dellâ„¢ 
Support website at 
support.dell.com.
3
Locate 
SysMgmt.msi
 from the 
srvadmin\windows\SystemsManagement
directory.
4
Type the following command at the command prompt to force a reinstall
msiexec /i SysMgmt.msi REINSTALL=ALL 
REINSTALLMODE=vamus
5
Select 
Custom Setup
 and choose all the features that were originally 
installed. If you are not sure which features were installed, select all 
features and perform the installation.
  NOTE: If you installed Server Administrator in a non-default directory, make 
sure to change it in the Custom Setup as well.
6
After the application is installed, you can uninstall Server Administrator 
using Add/Remove Programs.
