How do I perform a silent (unattended) upgrade from Dell OpenManage 5.0
or later to Dell OpenManage 6.1?
Use the following commands for a management station:
msiexec /i MgmtSt.msi/qn (for fresh installs or major upgrades.
For example, upgrading from Dell OpenManage version 5.0 to version 5.5.)
How do I prevent the system from rebooting after a silent (unattended)

During Management Station installation/upgrade/uninstallation, Windows
installer displays a message stating that specific files needed by
Management Station are in use, what do I do?

Where can I find the MSI log files?
By default, the MSI log files are stored in the path defined by the %TEMP%
environment variable.
I downloaded the Server Administrator files for Windows from the Dell
Support website and copied it to my own CD/DVD. When I tried to launch
the SysMgmt.msi file, it failed. What is wrong?
MSI requires all installers to specify the MEDIAPACKAGEPATH property
if the MSI file does not reside on the root of the DVD.
This property is set to SYSMGMT\srvadmin\windows\SystemsManagement for
the
managed system software MSI package. If you decide to make your own DVD
you must ensure that the DVD layout stays the same. The SysMgmt.msi file
must be located in the SYSMGMT \srvadmin\windows\SystemsManagement.
