Configuration Script Parameters - ACRONIS Backup & Recovery 10 Advanced Server SBS Edition Installation Manual

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.
20).
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.

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}
[/account User_Name Password]
[/remote_users User1 User2 ... UserN]
[/ams_address Management_Server /ams_user Admin_Name Password]
The script parameters are the following.
