Yes, you can. You can run the MSI directly from the \Windows\SystemsManagement folder. In general, it is not a good idea to bypass the prerequisite
information as there could be important information that you would not know otherwise.
How do I know what version of systems management software is installed on the system?
Go to Start® Settings® Control Panel® Add/Remove programs and select Dell OpenManage Server Administrator. Select the link for support information.
What are the names of all the Dell OpenManage features under Windows?

How do I perform an unattended operating system installation with the Installation and Server Management CD?
You can install a Red Hat Enterprise Linux or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server operating system on many systems using identical settings, which is called a
kickstart, and allow consistent configurations across all systems. To use this feature, the PowerEdge systems must be configured identically with the same
hardwareandoperatingsysteminstalled.Anydifferenceinconfigurationmakesthereplicationfeatureunusable.
To perform unattended installations, do the following:
1. On the first server being set up, ensure that the server's BIOS is set to boot from the CD. Insert the Installation and Server Management CD and reboot
your server. Follow the installation interview, which includes setting the date and time, configuring the RAID controllers, selecting the operating system
and specifying its settings, configuring the hard drive, entering the network settings, and configuring Red Hat Enterprise Linux or SUSE Linux Enterprise
Server. If any information is omitted, an unattended installation can still be accomplished, but the system will prompt you for the missing information.
2. In the Installation Summary window, select Save Unattended Installation Script at /root/install-ks.cfg and select Save Profile for Replication
at /root/replication. Click the Continue button.
3. Insert the Red Hat Enterprise Linux or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server installation CD and follow the instructions to complete the installation. Reboot the
system to complete the installation.
4. When the installation is completed on the first system, copy the files from the /root/replication directory to a diskette.
5. For each subsequent unattended installation, insert the disk containing the replication files into the diskette drive and boot the system. The installation
interview will be done automatically. Then, insert the Red Hat Enterprise Linux or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server installation CD to install the operating
system, and reboot the system to complete the installation.
I manually installed my Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 - x86_64 or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 x86_64 operating system and am seeing RPM
dependencies when trying to install Server Administrator. Where could I find these dependent RPM files?
For Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the dependent RPM files are on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux installation CD. For convenience, they are captured in one of the
following directories corresponding to a supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system:
/srvadmin/linux/RPMS/supportRPMS/RH3_i386
/srvadmin/linux/RPMS/supportRPMS/RH3_x86_64
/srvadmin/linux/RPMS/supportRPMS/RH4_i386
/srvadmin/linux/RPMS/supportRPMS/RH4_x86_64
