Example Command Line Installation

• The following example installs Encryption in server operating system mode with default parameters (Encryption, silent installation, Encrypt for Sharing, no dialogue, no progress bar, automatic restart, installed in the default location of C:\Program Files\Dell\Dell Data Protection).

  DDPE_XXbit_setup.exe /s /v"SERVERMODE=1 SERVERHOSTNAME=server.organization.com POLICYPROXYHOSTNAME=rgk.organization.com MANAGEDDOMAIN=ORGANIZATION DEVICESERVERURL=https://server.organization.com:8443/xapi/ /qn"

  MSI Command:

  msiexec.exe /i "Dell Data Protection Encryption.msi" /qn REBOOT="ReallySuppress" SERVERMODE="1" SERVERHOSTNAME="server.organization.com" POLICYPROXYHOSTNAME="rgk.organization.com" MANAGEDDOMAIN="ORGANIZATION" DEVICESERVERURL="https://server.organization.com:8443/xapi/"

• The following example installs Encryption in server operating system mode with a log file and default parameters (Encryption, silent installation, Encrypt for Sharing, no dialogue, no progress bar, no restart, installed in the default location of C:\Program Files\Dell\Dell Data Protection\Encryption) and specifies a custom log file name ending with a number (DDP_ssos-090.log) that is incremented if the command line is run more than once on the same server. To specify a log location other than the default location where the executable is located, provide the complete path in the command. For example, /l*v C:\Logs\DDP_ssos-090.log creates install logs in C:\Logs.

  DDPE_XXbit_setup.exe /s /v"SERVERMODE=1 SERVERHOSTNAME=server.organization.com POLICYPROXYHOSTNAME=rgk.organization.com MANAGEDDOMAIN=ORGANIZATION DEVICESERVERURL=https://server.organization.com:8443/xapi/ /l*v DDP_ssos-090.log /norestart/qn"

  MSI Command:

  msiexec.exe /i "Dell Data Protection Encryption.msi" /qn SERVERMODE="1" SERVERHOSTNAME="server.organization.com" POLICYPROXYHOSTNAME="rgk.organization.com" MANAGEDDOMAIN="ORGANIZATION" DEVICESERVERURL="https://server.organization.com:8443/xapi/" /l*v DDP_ssos-090.log /norestart/qn"

Restart the computer after installation. Dell recommends snoozing the reboot only if time is needed to save your work and close applications. Encryption cannot begin until the computer has rebooted.
