Installing Management Station Software 83
Creating and Distributing Custom Unattended Installation Packages
To create a custom unattended installation package for distribution, copy the
ManagementStation\windows directory from the CD or the
SYSMGMT\ManagementStation\windows directory on the DVD onto the
system’s hard drive.
Create a batch script that will execute the installation using the Windows
Installer Engine (msiexec.exe). For example:
msiexec.exe /i MgmtSt.msi ADDLOCAL=ITA,RACMS,ADS /qb
NOTE: For a customized unattended installation, each required feature must be
included as a command line interface (CLI) parameter for it to be installed.
Also, put the batch script in the windows directory on the system hard drive.
See “Customization Parameters” for additional details and available feature
identification.
Distributing Custom Unattended Installation Packages
NOTE: The MgmtSt.msi installation package for management station used in the
Custom Setup unattended installation as described in the previous section is
located in the ManagementStation\windows\ManagementStation directory on the
Dell Systems Console and Agent CD and at
SYSMGMT\ManagementStation\windows\ManagementStation on the Dell Systems
Management Tools and Documentation DVD.
1 Configure your ISV distribution software to execute the batch script once
your installation package has been distributed.
2 Use your ISV distribution software to distribute the custom unattended
installation package to the remote systems.
The following command executes from the script to install management
station, along with specified features, on each remote system:
