Install Service Management Automation from a Command Prompt window

Updated: May 13, 2016

Applies To: Windows Azure Pack for Windows Server, System Center 2012 R2 Orchestrator

You can install the features of Service Management Automation by using commands in the Command Prompt window to guide the Windows Installer program for an unattended install.

Windows Installer files

Your installation media contains Windows Installer files for each Service Management Automation of the following features:

PowerShell module: PowershellModuleInstaller.msi
Web service: WebServiceInstaller.msi
Runbook worker: WorkerInstaller.msi

Note

The installation options must be entered at a command prompt. An answer file is not supported.

PowerShell module installation options

The Service Management Automation PowerShell module is a required prerequisite of the Service Management Automation web service, so you must install the Service Management Automation PowerShell module before you deploy the Service Management Automation web service. The PowerShell module installer takes no parameters. For example, you could use the following command:

msiexec.exe /i PowershellModuleInstaller.msi

Web service installation options

The following variables can be specified at a command prompt to override default behaviors.

Installation item	Command line switch	Valid values
IIS application pool	APPOOLACCOUNT	String

IIS application pool	ADMINGROUPMEMBERS	String (a comma-separated list of users to add to the IIS Administrators group)
SQL Server database	CREATEDATABASE	"Yes" or "No" (the default value is "No")
SQL Server database	DATABASEAUTHENTICATION	SQL, Windows (the default value is Windows). If DATABASEAUTHENTICATION = SQL, you must also specify SQLUSER and SQLPASSWORD
SQL Server database	SQLUSER	String

If logging is desired, use the Msiexec.exe command and specify the log path. For example, you could use the following command (be sure to use the name of your SQL Server instance).

msiexec.exe /i WebServiceInstaller.msi /L*v C:\Andreas\WebServiceInstaller.log CREATEDATABASE=“Yes” SQLSERVER="localhost" DATABASEAUTHENTICATION="Windows" SQLDATABASE="SMA123"

Runbook worker installation options

A runbook worker cannot be installed on the same computer as another runbook worker. Also, you must install the runbook worker on a computer that has access to the same SQL Server instance that the Service Management Automation web service is using.
