88 Installing Management Station Software
Distributing the Unattended Uninstallation Package
The Dell Systems Console and Agent CD or the Dell Systems Management
Tools and Documentation DVD is preconfigured 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\ManagementStation\windows\ManagementStation
\MgmtSt.msi /qb
( msiexec.exe /x DVD
Drive\SYSMGMT\ManagementStation\windows\Managemen
tStation\MgmtSt.msi /qb
) command 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.
3 The command uninstalls IT Assistant and other management station
software on each remote system.
Unattended Uninstall Command Line Settings
Table 5-1 shows the unattended uninstallation command line settings
available for unattended uninstallation. Type the optional settings on the
command line after
msiexec.exe /x MgmtSt.msi with a space between each setting.
For example, running msiexec.exe /x MgmtSt.msi /qb runs the
unattended uninstallation and displays the unattended installation status
while it is running.
Running msiexec.exe /x MgmtSt.msi /qn runs the unattended
uninstallation, but silently (without status displays).
Unattended Uninstall Using the Product GUID
If you do not have the installation CD or the MSI package available during an
uninstallation, you can use the following command line to uninstall Dell
OpenManage systems management software on management stations
running Windows. For these cases, you can use the package GUIDs to
uninstall the product.
NOTE: A Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) is 128 bits long. The product GUID
uniquely identifies the application. In this case, the product GUID for Dell
OpenManage Management Station is {DA60872C-9147-4A6E-9AEF-95BAB5EF3A3B}.
