Administrator Guide for SAS 9.1.3 Foundation for Microsoft Windows 13
If you want to use Automatic Log On, you must specify a password here. If you do not wish to
use the Auto Logon feature, you may simply click Next on this dialog, leaving the User ID and
Password fields blank. A blank password disables the Auto Logon feature.
The wizard will perform the appropriate system updates, and reboot the machine as
necessary. If you did not use the Auto Logon feature, a manual logon will be necessary
between reboots.
Once the system meets the minimum system requirements, the wizard will display a Finish
dialog.
Quiet Mode and the System Requirements Wizard
For large-scale enterprise deployment, it would be impractical to require an administrator or
user at each machine when system components are updated. To meet this need, the System
Requirements Wizard supports Quiet Mode.
Quiet Mode allows you to provide all of the responses that would normally be supplied to the
wizard when running interactively, but without the presence of a user. To familiarize yourself
with the prompts that the wizard would normally present to the user, review the section that
starts on page 11, In
teractive Use of the System Requirements Wizard.
To run the System Requirements Wizard in Quiet Mode, a single command line must be run
on the machine where you want the system requirements updated.
The source path of the command to be run will vary, depending upon the type of end user:
• Client Users: <Source Path>\SRW\SETUP.EXE
• Personal Users: <Source Path>\Disk1\SRW\SETUP.EXE
The command line arguments to the wizard are the same, independent of the source path
used above. Usage is shown below:
Usage: ....\SRW\SETUP.EXE -s
-f2"<LogFile>" "QuietLog:<LogFile>"
"LogFile:<Full Path To Detailed LogFile>"
["AutoID:MyUserID" "AutoPwd:MyPassword"
"AutoDomain:MyDomain"]
For example:
M:\MyNetDrive\SRW\Setup.exe -s
-f2"C:\Temp\Log.txt" "QuietLog:C:\Temp\Log.txt"
"LogFile:C:\Temp\DetailedLog.txt"
"AutoID:JohnDoe" "AutoPwd:Jane"
"AutoDomain:DoeCompany"
Note: While the Auto* arguments are optional, omitting them will result in the wizard not
continuing to completion until someone manually logs onto the machine.
The -f2 and QuietLog options are required, and they must be fully qualified paths to the log
file that you wish to have created. This log file contains an account of dialog flow response.
While it must be created, it can generally be ignored.
By comparison, the LogFile option is very important and is used to specify where the
detailed log of the quiet installation should be placed.
