IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Mail, Data Protection for Microsoft Exchange Server, Version 7.1

Installing Data Protection for Microsoft Exchange silently

Follow these instructions to create a silent installation package.

Before you start, you must choose a location for the package. If you are burning a DVD, it is convenient to use a staging directory. If you are placing the package on a file server, you can use a staging directory or build the package directly on the file server.

The following example uses c:\tdpdpkg as a staging directory. Issue the following commands to create the package.

Table 1. Commands for creating a silent installation package
Command Description
mkdir c:\tdpdpkg Create a staging directory for the silent-install package
cd /d c:\tdpdpkg Go to the staging directory
xcopy g:\*.* . /s Copy the DVD distribution files to the staging directory
copy c:\setup.bat Replace the existing setup.bat with the one created in the previous step

When you create the installation package, test the silent installation. When you complete the test, the package can be placed on a DVD or it can be made available from a shared directory.
