Re: [Networker] Unattended Windows client installation/upgrade

Hello,

the only Switch i know of (if that helps) is :

setup /S /V"/QN INSTALLDIR=<Path to Install> INSTALLLEVEL=<Number>"

where <Number> is :
      400  -> Client
      600  -> Storage Node
      800  -> Backup Server

Regards

Stefan Kapitza
