INSTALLDIR=<path>
This command installs a product in a specic location. If you specify
an install directory with this switch, it must be created manually
prior to executing the CLI install commands or they fail without
displaying an error message.

a product to a specic location where c:\OpenManage is the install
location.
CP_MESSAGE_FORMAT=<enhanced | traditional>
This command sets the alert message type to Enhanced Message
Format (recommended) or Traditional Message Format.
For example, running msiexec.exe /i SysMgmtx64.msi /qn installs Server Administrator features on each remote system based
on the system's hardware conguration. This installation is done silently and unattended.
Customization Parameters
REINSTALL and REMOVE customization CLI parameters provide a way to customize the exact software features to install, reinstall,
or uninstall when running a silent or unattended installation. With the customization parameters, you selectively install, reinstall, or uninstall
software features for dierent systems using the same unattended installation package. For example, you can choose to install Server
Administrator, but not Remote Access Controller service on a specic group of servers, and choose to install Server Administrator, but not
Storage Management Service, on another group of servers. You can also choose to uninstall one or multiple features on a specic group of
servers.
NOTE
: Type the REINSTALL, and REMOVE CLI parameters in upper case, as they are case‑sensitive.
