Security Center options - Security Center 5.11.2.0

When performing a silent installation, you can specify extra options for the Security Center.

The following table lists the Installer options for Security Center. All Security Center options are written in capital letters. Unlike the setup options, none of them are preceded with a forward slash (/). All options names are case-sensitive.

IMPORTANT: All servers on the system share the same password. Therefore, for the installation of both main and expansion servers, only use the option MAINSERVER_PASSWORD to specify the password.

Security Center option	Description
`ACTIVATIONCODE`	This is the activation code required to allow System Availability Monitor Agent (SAMA) to collect system data. EXAMPLE: `SAMA_COLLECTPOLICY=On ACTIVATIONCODE=mycode`
`AGREETOLICENSE`	Indicate that you agree with our software license agreement. IMPORTANT: The only accepted value is `Yes`. If omitted, the installation fails. EXAMPLE: `AGREETOLICENSE=Yes`
`ALLOWSQLUPGRADE`	Allow the installer to upgrade your database server to SQL Server 2019 Express Edition if your operating system supports it. The accepted values are 0 and 1. `0` = Do not upgrade (DEFAULT) `1` = Upgrade if your operating system supports it SQL Server 2019 Express is only supported on the 64-bit version of Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016 and later. IMPORTANT: Be sure to back up your databases before the SQL Server upgrade. EXAMPLE: `ALLOWSSQLUPGRADE=1` When `SKIPSQLVALIDATION=1` is specified, the database server upgrade is ignored.
`COLLECTPOLICY`	Configure the data collection policy for our Product Improvement Program. The accepted values are: `On`: We collect data with system information. `Anonymous`: We collect anonymous data. `Off`: We do not collect data. IMPORTANT: This option is mandatory if you are installing the main server on a clean machine. If omitted, the installation fails. You can also use this option to change the existing data collection setting if you are upgrading the main server. It is ignored if you are installing an expansion server or a client workstation. EXAMPLE: `COLLECTPOLICY=Anonymous`
`CONFIGURATION_SETTINGS`	Specify which configuration settings to use if older configuration files (ConfigurationFiles\.gconfig) are found on your machine. The accepted values are: `KeepExistingSettings` (FIRST DEFAULT) `DeployNewSettings` (SECOND DEFAULT) `UpgradeOldSettings` The first option is applicable only if configuration files for the current major version (5.11) are found on your machine. The last option is applicable only if configuration files from an older major version are found on your machine. If several older versions exist, the most recent older version is used. EXAMPLE*: `CONFIGURATION_SETTINGS=UpgradeOldSettings` NOTE: This option is only applicable for fresh installations. If you are upgrading your system, it always upgrades your current settings.

When this option is omitted, the default value is 1 if the last backup is more than one day old. The default backup folder is C:\SecurityCenterBackup on the SQL Server machine. `0` = Do not back up the Directory database `1` = Back-up the Directory database (DEFAULT) EXAMPLE: `DATABASE_AUTOBACKUP=0`
`DATABASE_SERVER`	Same as `GLOBAL_SERVER` option. This parameter maintains backward compatibility with previous silent installation scripts.
`DEACTIVBASIC`	This is a Boolean value that specifies whether basic camera authentication should be deactivated. `0` = Basic authentication enabled `1` = Basic authentication disabled (DEFAULT) EXAMPLE: `DEACTIVBASIC=0`
`GLOBAL_SERVER`	Specify the database server name for all roles installed by default. When omitted, the default value is `(local)\SQLEXPRESS`. EXAMPLES: Database server: `GLOBAL_SERVER=BLADE32\SQLServerEnterprise` Azure SQL database: `GLOBAL_SERVER=MyDbName.database.windows.net`

`SKIPSQLVALIDATION`	Use this option if your instance of SQL Server is not available at the time of installation, so the installer does not attempt to validate its version by connecting to it. EXAMPLE: SKIPSQLVALIDATION=1 When this option is turned on, the `ALLOWSQLUPGRADE` option is ignored.
`SQL_INSTANCE_NAME`	This option must be specified when SQLSERVER_GROUP is set to `NewServer`. It specifies the SQL Server instance name that you want to create on your local machine.
