How to install LVSA unattended/silent?

[rosmo01]

Hi,



TSM 5.2/Windows 2003.



For some unknown reason there are no silent install option for LVSA, which in turn makes a complete silent roll-out of TSM impossible. This should normally be no problem, as a pre and post snapshot of registry will reveal changes done by the interactive install.



One instance is :

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicestsmlvsa]

"Type"=dword:00000001

"Start"=dword:00000000

"ErrorControl"=dword:00000001

"Tag"=dword:00000007

"Group"="System Bus Extender"



[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicestsmlvsaSecurity]

"Security"=hex:01,00,14,80,90,00,00,00,9c,00,00,00,14,00,00,00,30,00,00,00,02,

00,1c,00,01,00,00,00,02,80,14,00,ff,01,0f,00,01,01,00,00,00,00,00,01,00,00,

00,00,02,00,60,00,04,00,00,00,00,00,14,00,fd,01,02,00,01,01,00,00,00,00,00,

05,12,00,00,00,00,00,18,00,ff,01,0f,00,01,02,00,00,00,00,00,05,20,00,00,00,

20,02,00,00,00,00,14,00,8d,01,02,00,01,01,00,00,00,00,00,05,0b,00,00,00,00,

00,18,00,fd,01,02,00,01,02,00,00,00,00,00,05,20,00,00,00,23,02,00,00,01,01,

00,00,00,00,00,05,12,00,00,00,01,01,00,00,00,00,00,05,12,00,00,00



There are tree other registry objects:

1: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREIBMADSMCurrentVersionSnapshot

2: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTInstallerFeaturesA93D24A172C0DAD42821E2A6FB4F2F6B

3: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftEventSystem26c409cc-ae86-11d1-b616-00805fc79216, with subkeys "EventClasses" and "Subscriptions"



The latter being somewhat quirky - is the key name based on SID, and if so which SID (and how to use this SID to create key name?) I have only been able to test on machines in same domain. Or is it static?



I suspect that the data is static and not tied to runtime variables during install. Will the only result of missing/incorrect EVentesystem data be that tsmlvsa events will not be updated in WIndows eventlog, but still be updated in dsmsched.log?



Thanks.
