Automatic install of Navision

Dean_Axon

Hi all;

I am struggling a little with automatically installing Navision to all clients within the domain without having to go to each individual pc ](*,) ](*,)

I have got so far with using the MSI file in a GPO script (on computer startup). This is what I have:

File 1 runs this:

"\\ath03\software$\Navision\Client\ISScript8.Msi" /qr

File 2 runs this:

"\\ath03\software$\Navision\Client\Microsoft Business Solutions-Navision 4.0 SP1.msi" INSTLEVEL=10 /qr

NOW...

2 main questions (although I am sure this will prompt a few more ?)

Question 1:

---

what are the various "INSTLEVEL" options when using a script install and what does each option install.

Question 2:

---

As these are MSI files, shouldn't I be doing the Software install and does anyone know the options for this one too ?


Anyone ??

Thanks in advance

Dean.

These are specific to Windows domain. You're better off asking a MCSE or MCSA...

I don't understand why you are using a startup script, this should be done in group policy 'software installation services' facility.

Software roll out using the "Software Installation services" of the GPO was my first attempt, but I didn't know the switches for the installation type that I wanted

Taking it one step further then, does anyone know the switches for Silent install, custom with no sample database etc using this method ?

Thanks in advance

Hi Dean,

Have you had any luck on that? Have you managed to use the GPO with the correct settings for the silent install of Navision?

Cheers
