Server Administrator Version 8.5

Creating 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 executes 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.

    An example is msiexec.exe /i SysMgmt.msi ADDLOCAL= SA,IWS,BRCM /qb.

  3. Place the batch script in the windows directory on the system hard drive.
