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\SYSMGMT\srvadmin\windows\
SystemsManagement\SysMgmt.msi /qb
after the drive has
been mapped.
3 Configure your ISV distribution software to distribute and execute the
script created in step 2.
4 Distribute this script to the target systems by using your 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 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 will execute 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.
