Server Administrator Installation With Citrix Application Server
Citrix remaps all the hard drive letters when installed. For example, if you install Server Administrator on drive C: and
then install Citrix, it may change the drive letter C: to M:. Server Administrator may not work properly because of the
remapping.
In order to avoid this problem, select one of the following options:
Option 1:
1. Uninstall Server Administrator.
2. Install Citrix.
3. Reinstall Server Administrator.
Option 2:
After installing Citrix, type the command msiexec.exe /fa SysMgmt.msi
Performing an Unattended Installation of Managed System Software
The Dell OpenManage installer features a Typical Setup option and a Custom Setup option for the unattended
installation procedure.
Unattended installation enables you to simultaneously install Server Administrator on multiple systems. Perform an
unattended installation by creating a package that contains the necessary managed system software files. The
unattended installation option also provides several features that enable you to configure, verify, and view information
about unattended installations.
The unattended installation package is distributed to the remote systems using a software distribution tool from an
independent software vendor (ISV). When the package is distributed, the installation script executes to install the
software.
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.
