Installing Management Station Software 79
Creating and Distributing the Typical Unattended Installation Package
The Typical Setup unattended installation option uses the Dell Systems
Management Tools and Documentation DVD as the unattended installation
package. The msiexec.exe /i MgmtSt.msi /qb command accesses
the DVD to accept the software license agreement and install all required
management station software products on selected remote systems.
The msiexec.exe /i MgmtSt.msi /qb command installs
management station software on each remote system, based on the system's
hardware and software configuration.
You can make the Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation
DVD image available to the remote system either by distributing the entire
contents of the media, or by mapping a drive from the target system to the
location of the CD image.
Mapping a Drive to Act as the Typical Unattended Installation Package
To map a drive to act as the Typical unattended installation package, do the
following:
1
Share an image of the Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation
DVD with each remote system on which you want to install the
management station software.
You can accomplish this task by directly sharing the media 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 the following
command after you have mapped the drive:
msiexec.exe /i
MappedDrive\SYSMGMT\ManagementStation\windows\Man
agementStation\MgmtSt.msi /qb
