36 Administrator Guide for SAS 9.1.3 Foundation for Microsoft Windows
Read Restarting Windows
This window displays the names of the system components that have been updated on
your system, and indicates that your computer must be rebooted. SAS recommends that
you reboot your computer now.
Click on one of the two radio buttons:
• Yes, I want to restart my computer now.
• No, I will restart my computer later.
If you choose to reboot, close all open applications and remove any floppy disks from the
disk drives.
Verify that all virus-scanning software has been disabled after the computer restarts.
SAS Setup will resume when the computer restarts. If Setup does not resume after the
computer reboots, select Verify System Requirements to restart Setup from the AutoPlay
on the SAS Setup Disk or SAS Software Navigator.
Click Finish.
Read System Update Not Required if the SRW displays this window
This window indicates that the SRW has verified that your system already meets the
minimum system requirements for the selected software.
Click Finish.
Read System Update Finished
This dialog indicates that the System Requirements Wizard has updated your system.
Click Finish.
Using Quiet Mode to Deploy the System Requirements
The System Requirements Wizard has been designed with Quiet Mode support for
Administrators who must deploy system updates throughout an organization.
When the System Requirements Wizard runs in Quiet Mode, the system will perform updates,
reboot, and automatically log back on until every update has been completed.
Security Note
Using the AutoID, AutoPwd and AutoDomain command line arguments can pose a security
risk. The information specified for these arguments is stored briefly in the Windows registry
in plaintext. During the short period of time in which the computer is updated by the SRW, it
will also have any of the permissions afforded to that account. Anyone who has physical
access to the computer can operate the computer with that account. This would allow access
to the computer’s contents and networks by a person who might not otherwise have that
access.
Commands
The following command line arguments are used to launch the System Requirements Wizard
in Quiet Mode:
-f2<logfile>
The f2 option specifies where the log file should be created. Use this switch to specify a
valid location where you have write permission. Without a valid location and write
permission, the System Requirements Wizard may terminate with no indication of
failure.
-s
This switch indicates that the Setup should be run silently.
