To apply an SCW policy during the unattended installation, also carry out the following steps.

  1. Create the policy file on a server that already has SCW installed.

  2. Either create a Cmdlines.txt file (or modify the existing one) so that it has a [Commands] section containing the following line: scwcmd configure /p:SCWPolicy.xml

  3. Copy the Cmdlines.txt file and the previously created policy file to the $OEM$ directory. The $OEM$ directory is specified by the OEMFILESPATH entry in the [Unattended] section of Unattend.txt.
