fix

You can install the Administration server silently using the command line interface (CLI). When you use the CLI, you can specify the same selections and parameters that you specify when installing the Administration server using the DRA setup program. Installing the Administration server silently using the CLI allows you to easily install the Administration server during off-hours or on a remote WAN site. You can also write a script which uses the silent install syntax to install an Administration server.

When you use the CLI to silently install the Administration server, you can only install a primary Administration server. You cannot use the silent install to install managed domains. After you silently install the primary Administration server, you must use the Delegation and Configuration console to add any additional managed domains.

To silently install the Administration server:

1. Open the command prompt.
2. Type the following command in the CLI from the directory in which you installed the EA.EXE program. By default, the setup program places the EA.EXE program in the Program Files\NetIQ\DRA folder on the client computer.

Setup.exe ENABLE_SILENT_SERVER_INSTALL=1 INSTALLLEVEL=9999 SERVER_MODE=Primary SVCACCT=Domain\Account SVCPWD=password ADMIN_RULE_ACCT=Domain\Account /qr

 

 

note

Notes:

• All options in the command are case sensitive.
• You must modify the Domain\Account parameter with the appropriate service account information.
• DRA stops and restarts the IIS Admin Service and its dependent services during the installation of the Administration server.
