Install Guide

1. Share an image of the Systems Management Tools and Documentation software with each remote system on which you want to

install Server Administrator.

You can accomplish this task by directly sharing the software or by copying the entire ISO image 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\<64–bit MSI path on the DVD>/qn after the drive has been mapped.

3. Configure the ISV distribution software to distribute and execute the script created in step 2.

4. Distribute this script to the target systems by using the ISV software distribution tools.

The script executes to install Server Administrator on each remote system.

5. Reboot each remote system to enable Server Administrator.

Distributing The Entire DVD as The Typical Unattended Installation Package

1. Distribute the entire image of the Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD to the target systems.

2. Configure the ISV distribution software to execute the msiexec.exe /i DVD Drive\<64–bit MSI path on the

DVD>/qn command from the DVD image.

The program executes to install Server Administrator on each remote system.

3. Reboot each remote system to enable Server Administrator.

Creating Custom Unattended Installation Packages

To create a custom unattended installation package, perform the following steps:

1. Copy the srvadmin\windows\SystemsManagementx64 directory from the DVD to the system hard drive.

2. Create a batch script that executes the installation using the Windows Installer Engine (msiexec.exe).

NOTE:

For Customized Unattended Installation, each required feature must be included as a command line interface

(CLI) parameter for it to be installed.

An example is msiexec.exe /i SysMgmtx64.msi ADDLOCAL= SA,IWS,BRCM /qn.

3. Place the batch script in the windows directory on the system hard drive.
