netbackup push using silentclient.cmd
- 11 years ago
If you use a software packager in your environment that pushes out software then you can provide the software to the packager and have it just run the silent installer cmd file on each client
If you set the computer name to be %COMPUTERNAME% then as the program runs on each client it will set its name correctly
It cannot be run from the Master Server - only on each client
I have used this with clients to install 100's of clients without issue
You can use the installer from another server and select clients on the network to install - this is a manual process requiring all to be of the same O/S type (32 bit or 64 bit) and all installed to the same location (C:\Program Files\Veritas) - this can be run from the Master or any other server whether NBU is installed or not as long as you follow the 32 bit / 64 bit rule.
If you do run it from the Master and that has NBU installed on the D drive it will try and install all clients to the D drive
