Information

Examples

Installing the RAS Powershell Module silently

msiexec /i RASInstaller-*.msi ADDLOCAL=F_PowerShell /qn

NOTE: To use silent installation for RAS Powershell Module, Powershell execution policy must be set first.

Alternatively, it can be installed in basic UI mode which does not require setting an execution policy:

msiexec /i RASInstaller-*.msi ADDLOCAL=F_PowerShell /qb

Verbose logging during installation

msiexec /i RASInstaller-*.msi /qn /L*V install.log

NOTE: It will create an install.log file in the same directory where the installer is being executed unless the path is specified explicitly.

Silent installation of RAS Console

msiexec /i RASInstaller-*.msi ADDLOCAL=F_Console /qn

Silent installation of RAS PC Agent and RAS Console

msiexec /i RASInstaller-*.msi ADDLOCAL=F_PCAgent,F_Console /q

Installing RAS Console along with SSO component

The parameter F_SSO INSTALLSSO (available in RAS v17 onwards): Exclude/Include SSO during a silent installation

0 - Do not install SSO (default)

1 - Install SSO

msiexec /i RASInstaller-*.msi ADDLOCAL=F_Console,F_SSO INSTALLSSO=1 /l*v install.log /qn

Warning: Execution of this command will cause an IMMEDIATE reboot of the OS.
 

RAS SSO service requires the system's reboot. In the example below, we've added "/norestart" option to have an ability to save necessary changes and then manually restart the OS. RAS SSO functionality will start working after the reboot.

msiexec /i RASInstaller-*.msi ADDLOCAL=F_Console,F_SSO INSTALLSSO=1 /l*v install.log /qn /norestart
