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 APPOOLPASSWORD 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
SQL Server database SQLPASSWORD String
SQL Server database SQLSERVER In the format "Server name, port number." (The default values are “localhost, 1433.” Supply a port number of 0 to specify a dynamic port.)
SQL Server database SQLINSTANCE String (optional server instance name)
SQL Server database SQLDATABASE String (the default database name value is SMA)
IIS web service SITENAME String (the default value is "SMA")
IIS web service WEBSERVICEPORT Integer (the default value is "9090")
IIS web service INSTALLFOLDER String (the default value is c:\inetpub\Service Management Automation)
IIS web service USESSL “Yes” or “No” (the default value is “Yes”)
IIS web service SPECIFYCERTIFICATE “Yes” or “No” (the default value is “No”). A certificate is automatically created if you specify "No." If you select "Yes," also provide CERTIFICATESERIAL.
IIS web service CERTIFICATESERIAL Serial number of an existing certificate in concatenated hexadecimal format and with no spaces between digits, for example: “45C324C02318F48D4A9C4FC832B2CDCC”
Event tracing (ETW) ETWMANIFEST “Yes” or “No” (the default value is “Yes”)
Software Quality Metrics (SQM) for Customer Experience Improvement Program (CEIP) reporting SENDCEIPREPORTS “Yes” or “No” (the default value is “No”)
Automatic Microsoft Update MSUPDATE “Yes” (opt-in) or “No” (no change; this is the default value)
Product key PRODUCTKEY 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.

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

Installation item Command line switch Valid values
Windows service SERVICEACCOUNT String
Windows service SERVICEPASSWORD String
SQL Server database CREATEDATABASE “Yes” or “No” (the default value is “No”)
SQL Server database DATABASEAUTHENTICATION SQL Server or Windows (the default value is Windows)
SQL Server database SQLUSER String
SQL Server database SQLPASSWORD String
SQL Server database SQLSERVER In the format “Server name, port number” (The default values are “localhost, 1433.” Supply a port number of 0 to specify a dynamic port.)
SQL Server database SQLINSTANCE String (optional server instance name)
SQL Server database SQLDATABASE String (the default database name value is SMA)
File install location INSTALLFOLDER String (the default value is C:\Program Files\Microsoft System Center 2012 R2\Service Management Automation)
Event tracing (ETW) ETWMANIFEST “Yes” or “No” (the default value is “Yes”)
Software Quality Metrics (SQM) for Customer Experience Improvement Program (CEIP) reporting SENDCEIPREPORTS “Yes” or “No” (the default value is “No”)
Automatic Microsoft Update MSUPDATE “Yes” (opt-in) or “No” (no change; this is the default value)
Product key PRODUCTKEY 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 WorkerInstaller.msi /L*v C:\Andreas\WorkerInstaller.log CREATEDATABASE=“Yes” SQLSERVER="localhost" DATABASEAUTHENTICATION="Windows" SQLDATABASE="SMA123"

Note

If you install additional runbook workers, you must run the Windows PowerShell cmdlet New-SmaRunbookWorkerDeployment to properly configure the runbook worker.

  1. Stop the Runbook server service (RunbookService.exe) on each computer on which a runbook worker is installed.

  2. Run the following Windows PowerShell command:

    New-SmaRunbookWorkerDeployment -<ComputerName> –<WebServiceEndpoint>

  3. Restart the Runbook server service on each computer on which a runbook worker is installed.
