I downloaded the Server Administrator les for Windows from
the Support website and copied it to my own media. When I
tried to launch the SysMgmtx64.msi le, it failed. What is
wrong?
MSI requires all installers to specify the MEDIAPACKAGEPATH property if the MSI le does not reside on the root of the DVD.
This property is set to srvadmin\windows\SystemsManagement for the managed system software MSI package. If you want to make the
own DVD you must ensure that the DVD layout stays the same. The SysMgmtx64.msi le must be located in the srvadmin\windows
\SystemsManagementx64. For more detailed information, go to msdn.microsoft.com and search for
MEDIAPACKAGEPATH Property
Does systems management Install support Windows
Advertised installation?
No. Systems management Install does not support Windows Advertised installation - the process of automatically distributing a program to
client computers for installation, through the Windows group policies.
How do I check the disk space availability during custom
installation?
In the Custom Setup screen, you must click an active feature to view the hard drive space availability or to change the installation
directory. For example, if Feature A is selected for installation (active) and Feature B is not active, the Change and Space buttons are
disabled if you click Feature B. Click Feature A to view the space availability or to change the installation directory.
What do I do when I see the current version is already installed
message is displayed?
If you upgrade from version X to version Y using MSP and then try to use the version Y DVD (full install), the prerequisite checker on the
version Y DVD informs you that the current version is already installed. If you proceed, the installation does not run in Maintenance mode
and you do not get the option to Modify, Repair, or Remove. Proceeding with the installation removes the MSP and creates a cache of
the MSI le present in the version Y package. When you run it a second time, the installer runs in Maintenance mode.
What is the best way to use the prerequisite checker
information?
The prerequisite checker is available for Windows. See the readme le at srvadmin\windows\PreReqChecker\README.txt on the Dell
EMC Systems Management Tools and Documentation software, for detailed information about using the prerequisite checker.
