Creating and Distributing Custom Unattended Installation Packages
To create a custom unattended installation package, perform the following
steps:
1
Copy the srvadmin\windows directory from the CD or the
SYSMGMT\srvadmin\windows directory from the DVD to the system
hard drive.
2 Create a batch script that will execute the installation using the Windows
Installer Engine (
msiexec.exe ).
NOTE: For Customized Unattended Installation, each required feature must
be included as a command line interface (CLI) parameter for it to be installed.
An example is msiexec.exe /i SysMgmt.msi ADDLOCAL=
SA,IWS,BRCM /qb
. (See "Customization Parameters" for more details
and available feature identifications.)
3 Place the batch script in the windows directory on the system hard drive.
