Users Guide

ADDLOCAL, REINSTALL, and REMOVE customization CLI parameters provide a way to customize 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 Server Administrator, but not Remote Access Service on a
specific 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 specific group of servers.
Table 6-2. Software Feature IDs
You can include the ADDLOCAL customization parameter on the command line, and assign the feature ID (or IDs) of the software feature that you would like
to install. An example is
msiexec.exe /i SysMgmt.msi ADDLOCAL=BRCM /qb.
This command runs the installation for Dell OpenManage Systems Management, and installs only the Broadcom agent, in an unattended but not silent mode.
You can include the REINSTALL customization parameter on the command line and assign the feature ID (or IDs) of the software feature that you would like
to reinstall. An example is
msiexec.exe /i SysMgmt.msi REINSTALL=BRCM /qb.
This command will run the installation for Dell OpenManage Systems Management and reinstall only the Broadcom agent, in an unattended but not silent
mode.

This command runs the installation for managed system software, and simultaneously installs the Intel agent, and uninstalls the Broadcom agent. This
execution will be in an unattended but not silent mode.
