Choosing an Automated Deployment Strategy for XenApp (Part 2/4)
In Part 2 of the Choosing an Automated Deployment Strategy for XenApp series I will talk about installing XenApp with the UnattendedInstall.exe tool from the server CD.
Taking the Answer File Approach with UnattendedInstall.exe
XenApp ships with a tool called UnattendedInstall.exe that allows you to perform a silent install with an answer file. You can find this tool on the XenApp server CD under Support\Install. I won’t go into the details of running the tool, but you can find more about it on pg. 368 of the Admin Guide.
This tool mitigates the problem of trying to key in all those crazy MSI install options on command-line, but you’ll still need a third-party automation tool if you want a completely automated solution.
