Prerequisite Checker 193
Prerequisite Checker
Command Line Operation of the Prerequisite
Checker
You can run the prerequisite check silently by executing
runprereqchecks.exe /s from the
ManagementStation\windows\PreReqChecker or
\srvadmin\windows\PreReqChecker directory on the Dell Systems Console
and Agent CD. On the Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation
DVD, the executable is available at
SYSMGMT\ManagementStation\windows\PreReqChecker or
SYSMGMT\srvadmin\windows\PreReqChecker. After running the
prerequisite check, an HTML file will be created in the %Temp% directory.
The file is named omprereq.htm, and it contains the results of the
prerequisite check. The Temp directory is not usually X:\Temp, but
X:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp. To find
%TEMP%, go to a command line prompt and type echo %TEMP%.
The results of the Prerequisite Checker are written to the registry for the
management station under the registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Dell Computer
Corporation\OpenManage \PreReqChecks\MS\
The results are written under the following key for a Managed System:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Dell Computer
Corporation\OpenManage \PreReqChecks\MN\
When running the Prerequisite Check silently, the return code from
runprereqchecks.exe will be the number associated with the highest severity
condition for all of the software products. The return code numbers are the
same as those used in the registry. Table 10-1 details the codes that
are returned.
