Digital Certicates
All Server Administrator packages for Microsoft are digitally signed with a certicate that helps guarantee the integrity of the
installation packages. If these packages are repackaged, edited, or manipulated in other ways, the digital signature is invalidated. This
manipulation results in an unsupported installation package and the prerequisite checker does not allow you to install the software.
Enabling Windows Installer Logging Service
Windows includes a registry-activated logging service to help diagnose Windows Installer issues.
To enable this logging service during a silent install, open the registry editor and create the following path and keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
Reg_SZ: Logging
Value: voicewarmup
The letters in the value eld can be in any order. Each letter turns on a dierent logging mode. Each letter's actual function is as
follows for MSI version 3.1:
v — Verbose output
o — Out-of-disk-space message
i —Status message
c — Initial UI parameter
e — All error message
w — Non-fatal warning
a — Startup of action
r — Action-specic record
m — Out-of-memory or fatal exit information
u — User request
p — Terminal property
+ — Append to existing le
! — Flush each line to the log
"*" — Wildcard, log all information except for the v option. To include the v option, specify "/l*v".
Once activated, the log les are generated in the %TEMP% directory. Some log les generated in this directory are:
• Managed System Installation
– SysMgmt_<timestamp>.log
These log les are created by default if the prerequisite checker user interface (UI) is running.
Microsoft Active Directory
If you use Active Directory service software, you can congure it to control access to the network. The Active Directory database is
modied to support remote management authentication and authorization. Server Administrator, Integrated Remote Access
Controller (iDRAC), Chassis Management Controller (CMC), and Remote Access Controllers (RAC), can interface with Active
Directory. Using Active Directory, add and control users and privileges from a central database.
