Customization Parameters
NOTE: Type the ADDLOCAL, REINSTALL, and REMOVE CLI parameters in upper case, as they are case-sensitive.
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.
