Unattended Install

The unattended installation uses an XML file to install the K2 product suite. After the generation of the XML file with the configuration values, there is minimal intervention required during the setup process.

There are a number of benefits to using the unattended installation approach:

• By using the same XML file to install and configure the operating system, you can ensure that all of the computers in your organization are set up exactly the same way, resulting in better consistency during a K2 roll-out
• The unattended installation is faster than interactive setup because setup does not have to prompt you for configuration information; instead, setup reads configuration settings from the XML file. This results in shorter installation times

The known limitations of this installer are:

• The installer does not support modifying or repairing an installation. To perform a modify or repair, open the K2 Setup Manager and use the wizard to do so.

To perform an unattended installation, you need the following:

• System Key
• License Key
• Prerequisites must be met
• Unattended install generated XML File
