Files\Acronis\BackupAndRecoveryConsole. If the management console is installed on a different
machine, you can copy the script from that machine.
To install, reinstall, or update a component in the unattended mode
1. Run the setup program.
2. Click Extract installation files.
3. Extract the component's installation package.
4. Create a transform (an .mst file) for the installation package, by running the configuration script.
For example, the following command creates a transform to install the agent for Windows with
the trial license key ABCDE-54321:
mst_gen.vbs /msi_path C:\Acronis\AgentWindows.msi /serial ABCDE-54321
See also the example later in this section. The complete syntax of the configuration script is
described in Configuration script parameters (p. 21).
5. Do either of the following, depending on whether you are installing, reinstalling, or updating the
component:
If you are installing the component, run Windows Installer (the msiexec program), specifying
o
the names of both the installation package and the transform as follows:
msiexec /i c:\AcronisAgentWindows.msi TRANSFORMS=AcronisAgentWindows.mst /qb
If you are reinstalling or updating the component, run Windows Installer as follows:
o
msiexec /i c:\AcronisAgentWindows.msi TRANSFORMS=AcronisAgentWindows.mst
REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus /qb
In an Active Directory domain, another way of performing unattended installation (but not
reinstallation or update) is through Group Policy—see Installing components using Group Policy (p.
23).
Example
Consider the following command, which creates a transform for the installation package of the agent
for Windows:
mst_gen.vbs /msi_path C:\Acronis\AgentWindows.msi /license_server licensesrv
/product AS /account mydomain\agentuser MyPassWd /ams_address managementsrv
/ams_user adminname AdminPassWd
After unattended installation with that transform:
•
The agent will use a license for the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Advanced Server edition, by
taking it from the license server installed on the licensesrv machine.
•
The agent's service will run under the agentuser domain user account (of the mydomain domain)
whose password is MyPassWd.
•
The agent will be registered on Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Server installed on
the managementsrv machine; adminname and AdminPassWd are respectively the user name
and password of a management server administrator.
