Installing from SMS/SCCM

Desktop supports distribution from Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) and System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM).

NOTE
For information on the methods for operating SMS/SCCM, see the Microsoft website and the SMS/SCCM product manuals. When installing Desktop by performing a distributed installation with SCCM, the registry entries for Web Services Enhancements that are generated with a regular installation are not generated.

Uploading and Executing the Installer in SMS/SCCM

Copy the installer from "Desktop Installation Media", and edit the detailed parameter file as necessary.

Copying the Installer from "Desktop Installation Media" Copying the Installer

Setting a Detailed Parameter File

If necessary, export the user settings file from the existing Desktop environment, and incorporate it into the installer prepared in step 1.

Export User Settings

Installing with Desktop User Settings Loaded

Once preparations for the Desktop installer are complete, upload it into SMS/SCCM.

Enter the startup command and perform a distributed installation.

The command for starting an installer from SMS/SCCM is indicated below.

When installing to a 32-bit operating system

(Path to the folder that the installer in SMS/SCCM was placed in)\32bit\setup.exe /qn "(absolute path to the detailed parameter file)\(name of the detailed parameter file: *.ini)" /i /m

NOTE
As indicated above, the only difference between this and starting in the silent mode is the final "/m". "/m" is a parameter for sending notification of the execution result with a MIF file when installing from SMS/SCCM. Exit Codes The operations of the installer are the same as when starting in the silent mode, and SMS/SCCM is not used.

Check the exit code in the MIF file to confirm that the distributed installation has exited.

For information on MIF file exit codes, see the following.

Exit Codes

NOTE
In addition to MIF files, exit codes can be checked using the "iwsetup_yyyymmddhhmmss.log" log file in the same way as silent installations in a local environment. For distributed installations, log files are created in the %TEMP% system environment variable. For information on the exit codes in this case, see step 3 in Installing Using the Silent Mode.

Exit Codes

When installing from SMS/SCCM, you can add the "/m" parameter to send notification of the execution result with a MIF file. The MIF file that is generated is indicated below.
