Silently installing Mail Security using an automated installation tool

Mail Security supports installing the product using automated installation tools, such as Microsoft Systems Management Server.

Ensure that you have met the system requirements before you perform a silent installation.

See System requirements

You can modify certain installation properties to configure Mail Security installations, or you can provide command line properties during manual or automated installation using an automated installation tool.

Modify the installation properties for Mail Security in the following file:

\Program Files\Symantec\CMaF\2.1\bin\Products\SMSMSE\6.5\Remote Install Files\vpremote.dat

\Program Files (x86)\Symantec\CMaF\2.1\bin\Products\SMSMSE\6.5\Remote Install Files\vpremote.dat

    [DestinationDrive]:\setup.exe /v"/lvx* "c:\smsmse_install.log" NOT_FROM_ARP=1 REMOTEINSTALL=1 REINSTALLMODE=voums REINSTALL=ALL" /s

    Where "c:\smsmse_install.log" is the path of installation log file that gets generated during installation.

Note:

Silent and remote installation on mailbox role will not start the Mail Security service "Symantec Mail Security for Microsoft Exchange" because the service logon password is not set. To start the service, you must set the service account password for this service and start the service manually.
