Procedure

1. Install an Information Server.
2. Locate the SMS folder in the default installation path, and share it.
   Make sure the target servers you want to install as Normal Servers can access the folder. If you want to perform more than one silent installation, map the SMS folder on the target servers.
3. At the target server, open a command prompt, go to the SMS folder or drive that is mapped to the folder, and then enter the following command:
   <drive>:\setup -SMS -s -m"SPNT5"

   Example:

   1. At the target server, map the SMS folder to drive "M".
   2. Open a command prompt.
   3. Go to drive M: by typing "M:".
   4. Type the following:
      M:\setup -SMS -s -m"SPNT5"
   5. Press Enter.
   Silent install will proceed and the target server will be registered with the Information Server.

   For a silent installation, Normal Servers are installed in the "SMS" domain. There is no way to change the domain name during the silent installation. You can, however, rename the SMS domain after all the Normal Servers have been installed.

   You can also specify a path to which ServerProtect is installed. For example, to install ServerProtect to the path D:\Utility\AntiVirus\SProtect, do the following:

   1. Locate the Setup.ini file in the source folder.
   2. Add the following lines:

      [CommonSection]

      ServerTargetUNCPath=D$\Utility\AntiVirus\SProtect

      Where:
      ServerTargetUNCPath: Sets the location where the Normal Server is installed.

   To license the installed Normal Server, add the following lines to the Setup.ini file in the source folder.

   [CommonSection]

   ServerTargetSN=XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX

   Where:

   XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX: Represents the legal serial number.
   You may not be able to register a Normal Server under the "SMS" domain due to the use of a domain controller on the Information Server. To resolve this issue, configure an IP address before using silent install.

   To configure an IP address, do the following:

   1. Go to the Setup.ini file in the SMS folder.
   2. Replace the host name with its IP address next to AgentName then save the file.

   Note During the course of perform upgrade in silent mode, caution should be excised when sharing with others the SMS folder so that all those target servers needs to be upgraded are included. See Installing ServerProtect in Silent Mode for detailed information to use this powerful tool.
