Silently installing Data Protection for Exchange Server with the setup program

You can use the setup program to silently install Data Protection for Exchange Server.

Before you begin

You must install two components: Data Protection for Exchange Server Management Console and Data Protection for Exchange Server. The setup programs for these components are on the installation media (where x: is your DVD drive):
Data Protection for Exchange Server Management Console setup program
(64-bit) x:\fcm\x64\mmc\4140\enu\setup.exe
Data Protection for Exchange Server setup program
(64-bit) x:\fcm\x64\exc\7140\enu\setup.exe

The Data Protection for Exchange Server Management Console and Data Protection for Exchange Server must be installed from an account that is a member of the local Administrators group for the system on which the Exchange Server is running.

Procedure

  1. Issue the following commands to silently install both components to the default installation directories:
    x:\fcm\x64\mmc\4140\enu\setup.exe /s /v/qn
    x:\fcm\x64\exc\7140\enu\setup.exe /s /v/qn 
    where x: is your DVD drive.
  2. The following examples are commands that specify the target directory, the features, start suppression, and logging. Specify each command on a single line.
    x:\fcm\x64\mmc\4140\enu\setup.exe /s /v"INSTALLDIR=\"C:\Program Files\Tivoli\" 
    ADDLOCAL=\"Client\" TRANSFORM=1033.mst REBOOT=ReallySuppress /qn /l*v 
    \"C:\Temp\DpExcMmcSetupLog.txt\""
    x:\fcm\x64\exc\7140\enu\setup.exe /s /v"INSTALLDIR=\"C:\Program Files\Tivoli\tsm\"
    ADDLOCAL=\"Client\" TRANSFORM=1033.mst REBOOT=ReallySuppress /qn /l*v 
    \"C:\Temp\DpExcSetupLog.txt\""
  3. Review these guidelines as you complete the installation process:
    • You must place a backslash (\) character before each quotation mark that is within an outer set of quotation marks (").
    • For a single-line command, press Enter only when all the parameters are entered.
    • You must place quotation marks (") around the following text:
      • A directory path that contains spaces.
      • An argument that specifies multiple features. Although you must use quotation marks around the complete argument, you must still place a backslash (\) character before each internal quotation mark.
    • All features that are listed in a custom installation must be listed after the addlocal option.
    • Setting the rebootyesno option to No applies only to the installation of the Data Protection for Exchange Server software. The installation package includes a number of prerequisites that is installed by Data Protection for Exchange Server. Ensure that all the prerequisites are installed before starting the silent installation, then set the rebootyesno option to No so that no system restart is required after the silent installation process finishes.
