When performing a silent installation, you can specify additional options for the Security Center Installer (MSI).
The following table lists the Security Center Installer (MSI) options. All installer 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.
Installer (MSI) 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. The only accepted
value is Yes. If omitted, the installation would
fail. EXAMPLE: AGREETOLICENSE=Yes |
COLLECTPOLICY | Configure the data collection policy for our Product Improvement Program. The
possible values are:
This option is compulsory if you are installing the main server on a clean machine. 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 clent workstation. EXAMPLE: COLLECTPOLICY=Anonymous |
CREATE_FIREWALL_RULES | Add the installed Security
Center
applications to the Windows Firewall exceptions list. Possible values are 0 or 1.
EXAMPLE: CREATE_FIREWALL_RULES=1 |
DATABASE_AUTOBACKUP | Back up the Directory database after the software upgrade, but before the
database upgrade. Configuration Files are also backed up in the same destination
folder as the database. Possible values are 0 or 1. 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.
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.
EXAMPLE: DEACTIVBASIC=0 |
GLOBAL_SERVER | Specify the database server name for all roles installed by default. When
omitted, the default value is (local)\SQLEXPRESS. EXAMPLE: GLOBAL_SERVER=BLADE32\SQLServerEnterprise |
LANGUAGECHOSEN | Language used by Security
Center. The
possible code values are:
EXAMPLE: LANGUAGECHOSEN=3084 If the code is invalid, English will be used. If this option is omitted, the installation language (specified with the /language: setup option) will be used. |
MAINSERVER_ENDPOINT | Used for expansion server installation. Specify the name or IP address of the
main server. EXAMPLE: MAINSERVER_ENDPOINT=MYMAINSERVER |
MAINSERVER_PASSWORD | Mandatory option for server installation commands. The password must be at least
8 characters long. EXAMPLE: MAINSERVER_PASSWORD=serverpassword |

SECURE_COMMUNICATION | This is a Boolean value that specifies whether secure communication (Directory
authentication) should be enforced.
EXAMPLE: SECURE_COMMUNICATION=1 |
SERVER_TYPE | Specify whether to install a main or an expansion server. The possible values are:

SERVERADMIN_PASSWORD | OBSOLETE. DO NOT USE. Use MAINSERVER_PASSWORD instead. |
SERVERADMIN_PORT | Specify the HTTP port for the web-based Server Admin. EXAMPLE: SERVERADMIN_PORT=8080 If not specified, the default is 5500. |

SERVICEUSERNAME | Specify the username to use in the services. EXAMPLE: SERVICEUSERNAME=.\admin |
SKIPSERVICESTART | Use this option to prevent the Security
Center services from starting immediately
after the installation (default behavior). You can use this option, if for example,
you need to install hotfixes right after the full installation. If you use this
option, don’t forget to start the Security
Center services (NET START GenetecServer and
NET START GenetecWatchdog) after the hotfix installation. EXAMPLE: SKIPSERVICESTART=Y |
SQL_INSTANCE_NAME | Specify the new SQL Server instance's name. This option needs to be specified when SQLSERVER_GROUP has a value of NewServer. |

UPGRADE_DATABASE | Specify that the Directory database should be automatically upgraded. If no
database exists, this option is ignored. Possible values are Y or N. When this option
is omitted, the default value is Y. EXAMPLE: UPGRADE_DATABASE=N |

Admin. If not specified, the default is 80. |
