Server Administrator Version 8.5 Installation Guide — Microsoft Windows

PDF

Creating And Distributing The Typical Unattended Installation Package

The Typical Setup unattended installation option uses the Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD as the unattended installation package. The msiexec.exe /i <SysMgmt or SysMgmtx64>.msi /qn command accesses the DVD to accept the software license agreement and installs all the required Server Administrator features on selected remote systems. These features are installed on the remote systems based on the system's hardware configuration.

  • NOTE: After an unattended installation is complete, to use the command line interface (CLI) feature of Server Administrator, you must open a new console window and execute the CLI commands from there. Executing CLI commands from the same console window in which Server Administrator was installed does not work.

You can make the DVD image available to the remote system by either distributing the entire contents of the media, or by mapping a drive from the target system to the location of the DVD image.
