Configuration Script Parameters - ACRONIS BACKUP AND RECOVERY 10 ADVANCED SERVER VIRTUAL EDITION - INSTALLATION UPDATE 3 Installation Manual

2.4 Configuration script parameters

The configuration script mst_gen.vbs creates an .mst file (known as a transform, a modification, or a
modification file) for the installation package of an Acronis component, such as Acronis Backup &
Recovery 10 Agent for Windows.
By using the transform together with the installation package, you can install the component in the
unattended mode, either by running the installation package manually or by deploying it through
Group Policy.
The following is the complete syntax of the configuration script:
mst_gen.vbs
/msi_path Full_Path
[/current_user]
[/target_dir Installation_Folder]
{/serial License_Key [/old_serial Echo_License_Key] | /license_server License_Server
/product Edition_Code | /online_backup | /advanced_online_backup}
[/account User_Name Password]
[/remote_users User1 User2 ... UserN]
[/ams_address Management_Server /ams_user Admin_Name Password]
[/cep_enabled]
The script parameters are the following.
/msi_path Full_Path
Specifies a full path to the component's installation package. Enter a local path, such as
D:\folder\AcronisAgentWindows.msi; or a universal naming convention (UNC) path, such as
\\server\folder\AcronisAgentWindows.msi.
/current_user
Specifies that the component will be installed for the current user only, rather than for all users
on a machine.
This parameter is not effective for components that run as services: Acronis Backup & Recovery
10 Agent for Windows, Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Server, and Acronis Backup
& Recovery 10 Storage Node.
Avoid using this parameter when installing the component through Group Policy, because the
"current user" in such installation is typically a system account.
/target_dir Installation_Folder
Specifies the folder where to install the component. Without this parameter, the component will
be installed to the default folder: %ProgramFiles%\Acronis\BackupAndRecovery
The following parameters are effective only when installing Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent for
Windows.
/serial License_Key
Specifies the license key to use when installing the package. A license key is a sequence of letters
and numerals separated by dashes. Enter the license key exactly, including the dashes.
/old_serial Echo_License_Key
When upgrading from Acronis True Image Echo, specifies the license key for that edition. Use
this parameter with the /serial parameter.
