52 Installing Managed System Software on Microsoft Windows Operating Systems
Creating and Distributing the Typical Unattended Installation Package
The Typical Setup unattended installation option uses the Dell Systems
Management Tools and Documentation DVD as the unattended installation
package. The msiexec.exe /i SysMgmt.msi /qb command accesses
the DVD to accept the software license agreement and installs all the
required Server Administrator features on selected remote systems. These
features are installed on the remote systems based on the system's hardware
configuration.
NOTE: After an unattended installation is complete, to use the command line
interface (CLI) feature of Server Administrator, you must open a new console
window and execute the CLI commands from there. Executing CLI commands from
the same console window in which Server Administrator was installed does not
work.
You can make the DVD image available to the remote system by either
distributing the entire contents of the media, or by mapping a drive from the
target system to the location of the DVD image.
Mapping a Drive to Act as the Typical Unattended Installation Package
1 Share an image of the Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation
DVD with each remote system on which you want to install Server
Administrator.
You can accomplish this task by directly sharing the DVD or by copying the
entire DVD to a drive and sharing the copy.
2 Create a script that maps a drive from the remote systems to the shared
drive described in step 1. This script should execute
msiexec.exe
/i Mapped Drive\SYSMGMT\srvadmin\windows\
SystemsManagement\SysMgmt.msi /qb
after the drive has
been mapped.
3 Configure your ISV distribution software to distribute and execute the
script created in step 2.
4 Distribute this script to the target systems by using your ISV software
distribution tools.
The script executes to install Server Administrator on each remote system.
5 Reboot each remote system to enable Server Administrator.
