116 Installing Managed System Software on Windows Operating Systems
Creating and Distributing Custom Unattended Installation Packages
To create a custom unattended installation package, perform the following
steps:
1
Copy 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.
Distributing Custom Unattended Installation Packages
NOTE: The SysMgmt.msi installation package for Server Administrator used in the
Custom Setup unattended installation (see "Creating and Distributing Custom
Unattended Installation Packages") is located in the
SYSMGMT\srvadmin\windows\SystemsManagement directory in the 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 batch script installs Server Administrator along with specified features
on each remote system.
3 Reboot each remote system to enable Server Administrator.
Specifying Log File Locations
For managed system MSI installation, run the following command to perform
an unattended installation while specifying the log file location:
msiexec.exe /i SysMgmt.msi /l*v
"C:\openmanage\logs\SysMgmt.log"
