Performing an Unattended Uninstallation of Management Station Software
The Dell Systems Management Consoles CD features a procedure for the unattended uninstallation of the Management Station software.
Unattended uninstallation enables you to uninstall Management Station software simultaneously from multiple systems. The unattended uninstallation
package is distributed to the remote systems using a software distribution tool from an ISV. When the package is distributed, the uninstallation script
executes to uninstall the software.


systems,performthefollowingsteps:

1. Configure your ISV distribution software to execute the msiexec.exe /x CD Drive\windows\ManagementStation\MgmtSt.msi /qb command after the
unattended uninstallation package has been distributed.

2. Use your ISV distribution software to distribute the Typical unattended uninstallation package to the remote systems.

Customization Parameters
The ADDLOCAL, REINSTALL, and REMOVE CLI parameters provide a way to specify the exact software features to install, reinstall, or uninstall when running
silently or unattended. With the customization parameters, you can selectively install, reinstall, or uninstall software features for different systems using the
same unattended installation package. For example, you can choose to install IT Assistant, but not Remote Access Controller Management Station on a specific
group of systems. You can also choose to uninstall one or multiple features on a specific group of systems.
