Installing Managed System Software on Microsoft Windows Operating Systems 75
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.
