Installing Managed System Software on Microsoft Windows Operating Systems 71
Mapping a Drive to Act as the Typical Unattended Installation Package
1 Share an image of the Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation
DVD with each remote system on which you want to install Server
Administrator.
You can accomplish this task by directly sharing the DVD or by copying the
entire DVD to a drive and sharing the copy.
2 Create a script that maps a drive from the remote systems to the shared
drive described in step 1. This script should execute
msiexec.exe
/i Mapped Drive\SYSMGMT\srvadmin\windows\
SystemsManagement\SysMgmt.msi /qb
after the drive has
been mapped.
3 Configure your ISV distribution software to distribute and execute the
script created in step 2.
4 Distribute this script to the target systems by using your ISV software
distribution tools.
The script executes to install Server Administrator on each remote system.
5 Reboot each remote system to enable Server Administrator.
Distributing the Entire DVD as the Typical Unattended Installation Package

Documentation
DVD to your target systems.
2 Configure your ISV distribution software to execute the
msiexec.exe /i DVD
Drive\SYSMGMT\srvadmin\windows\SystemsManagement\
SysMgmt.msi /qb
command from the DVD image.
The program executes to install Server Administrator on each
remote system.
3 Reboot each remote system to enable Server Administrator.
