Installing Managed System Software on Microsoft Windows Operating Systems 117
Distributing the Unattended Uninstallation Package
The Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD is
pre-configured to act as the unattended uninstallation package. To distribute
the package to one or more systems, perform the following steps:
1
Configure your ISV distribution software to execute the
msiexec.exe /x DVD
Drive\SYSMGMT\srvadmin\windows\SystemsManagement\
SysMgmt.msi /qb
command, if you are using the DVD, after the
unattended uninstallation package has been distributed.
2 Use your ISV distribution software to distribute the Typical unattended
uninstallation package to the remote systems.
The program executes to uninstall managed systems software on each
remote system.
3 Reboot each remote system to complete the uninstallation process.
Unattended Uninstall Command Line Settings
Table 7-1 shows the unattended uninstall command line settings available for
unattended uninstallation. Type the optional settings on the command line
after msiexec.exe /x SysMgmt.msi with a space between each setting.
For example, running msiexec.exe /x SysMgmt.msi /qb runs the
unattended uninstallation, and displays the unattended installation status
while it is running.
Running msiexec.exe /x SysMgmt.msi /qn runs the unattended
uninstallation, but silently (without display windows).
