Using a silent installation for deployment
Microsoft System Management Server (SMS) requires a silent install that does not reboot the target computer. The Adaptive Server Anywhere silent install does not reboot the computer.
Your SMS distribution package should contain the response file, the install image and the asa9.pdf package definition file (provided on the Adaptive Server Anywhere CD ROM in the \extras folder). The setup command in the PDF file contains the following options:
The -s option for a silent install
The -SMS option to indicate that it is being invoked by SMS.
The -m option to generate a MIF file. The MIF file is used by SMS to determine whether the installation was successful.
