72 Installing Managed System Software on Microsoft Windows Operating Systems
Distributing the Entire DVD as the Typical Unattended Installation Package
1 Distribute the entire image of the Dell Systems Management Tools and
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.
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 executes 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.
