Troubleshooting
Fixing a Faulty Server Administrator Installation
on Supported Windows Operating Systems
You can fix a faulty installation by forcing a reinstall and then performing an
uninstall of Server Administrator.
To force a reinstall:
1
Find out the version of Server Administrator that was previously installed.
2 Download the installation package for that version from the Dell™
Support website at
support.dell.com.
3 Locate SysMgmt.msi from the srvadmin\windows\SystemsManagement
directory.
4 Type the following command at the command prompt to force a reinstall
msiexec /i SysMgmt.msi REINSTALL=ALL
REINSTALLMODE=vamus
5
Select Custom Setup and choose all the features that were originally
installed. If you are not sure which features were installed, select all
features and perform the installation.
NOTE: If you installed Server Administrator in a non-default directory, make
sure to change it in the Custom Setup as well.
6 After the application is installed, you can uninstall Server Administrator
using Add/Remove Programs.
