Performing An Unattended Installation Of Managed System Software
The Systems Management installer features a Typical Setup option and a Custom Setup option for the unattended
installation procedure.
Unattended installation enables you to simultaneously install Server Administrator on multiple systems. Perform an
unattended installation by creating a package that contains the necessary managed system software files. The
unattended installation option also provides several features that enable you to configure, verify, and view information
about unattended installations.
The unattended installation package is distributed to the remote systems using a software distribution tool from an
independent software vendor (ISV). When the package is distributed, the installation script executes to install the
software.
Creating And Distributing The Typical Unattended Installation Package
The Typical Setup unattended installation option uses the Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD as the
unattended installation package. The msiexec.exe /i <SysMgmt or SysMgmtx64>.msi /qb command
accesses the DVD to accept the software license agreement and installs all the required Server Administrator features
on selected remote systems. These features are installed on the remote systems based on the system's hardware
configuration.
NOTE: After an unattended installation is complete, to use the command line interface (CLI) feature of Server
Administrator, you must open a new console window and execute the CLI commands from there. Executing
CLI commands from the same console window in which Server Administrator was installed does not work.
You can make the DVD image available to the remote system by either distributing the entire contents of the media, or by
mapping a drive from the target system to the location of the DVD image.
Mapping A Drive To Act As The Typical Unattended Installation Package
1. Share an image of the 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\<32–bit or 64–bit MSI path on the DVD>/qb
after the drive has been mapped.
3. Configure the ISV distribution software to distribute and execute the script created in step 2.
4. Distribute this script to the target systems by using the 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
1. Distribute the entire image of the Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD to the target systems.
2. Configure the ISV distribution software to execute the msiexec.exe /i DVD Drive\<32–bit or 64–
bit MSI path on the DVD>/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.
