34 ZENworks 11 Server Installation Guide
 Command Line: A command line installation is available, but only for Linux servers. The
Windows and Linux installation executables can both be run from a command line for
purposes of using installation arguments, but for Windows it only starts the GUI installation
program.
 Unattended: You can use either installation method to create a response file for an
unattended installation of ZENworks to other servers.
 Installation path (for Windows only)
 Management Zone (zone name, username, password, and port)
 Database choice (embedded Sybase SQL, remote OEM Sybase SQL, external Sybase SQL,
external Microsoft SQL, or Oracle database)
For more information, see Section 3.3, “Preinstallation Tasks,” on page 34.
 Database information (server name, port, database name, username, password, named
instance, domain, and whether you are using Windows or SQL Server authentication)
For Oracle and MS SQL, ensure that the database username adheres to the following
