Installing Managed System Software on Windows Operating Systems 123
Distributing the Unattended Uninstallation Package
The Dell Systems Console and Agent CD or the Dell Systems Management
Tools and Documentation DVD is pre-configured to act as the unattended
uninstallation package. To distribute the package to one or more systems,
perform the following steps:
1
Configure your ISV distribution software to execute the msiexec.exe
/x CD
Drive\srvadmin\windows\SystemsManagement\SysMgmt.
msi /qb
command (or msiexec.exe /x CD
Drive\SYSMGMT\srvadmin\windows\SystemsManagement\
SysMgmt.msi /qb
command, if you are using the DVD) 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.
The program executes to uninstall managed systems software on each
remote system.
3 Reboot each remote system to complete the uninstallation process.
Unattended Uninstall Command Line Settings
Table 6-1 shows the unattended uninstall command line settings available for
unattended uninstallation. Type the optional settings on the command line
after msiexec.exe /x SysMgmt.msi with a space between each setting.
For example, running msiexec.exe /x SysMgmt.msi /qb runs the
unattended uninstallation, and displays the unattended installation status
while it is running.
Running msiexec.exe /x SysMgmt.msi /qn runs the unattended
uninstallation, but silently (without display windows).
