Installing Managed System Software on Windows
®
Operating Systems 81
You can also choose to install, reinstall, and uninstall features with one execution of the msiexec.exe
program. An example is
msiexec.exe /i SysMgmt.msi ADDLOCAL=INTEL REINSTALL=OLD REMOVE=BRCM /qb
This command runs the installation for managed system software, and simultaneously installs the Intel
agent, reinstalls Diagnostic service, and uninstalls the Broadcom agent. This execution will be in an
unattended but not silent mode.
NOTE: A Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) is 128 bits long, and the algorithm used to generate a GUID guarantees
each GUID to be unique. The product GUID uniquely identifies the application. In this case, the product GUID for
Server Administrator is {A8D0C330-84F0-4675-B997-0E952FA0A0A3}.
