Sysocmgr.exe tool you can add or remove Windows components.

[Ersin INAN]

Hi All,

I am trying to add "Management and Monitoring Tools" component using
Sysocmgr.exe with a script.

If you could help me on this, I really appreciate this.

This is very urgent,

Regards,

Ersin

It is pretty easy. You use a answer file that has an ini file format with a
Components section like an unattend.txt for example, to add all the
Management and Monitoring tools it would look like this

-->8
[Components]
Netoc=On
WbemMSI=1

[NetOptionalComponents]
NetCMAK=1
NetCPS=1
NetMonTools=1
SNMP=1
WBEMSNMP=1

-->8
Then follow this article about how to call it. These references were taken
from the ref.chm in the deploy.cab on the Windows Server CD

Dear Jeremy,

Thank you so much for your great help. Now I have one more problem. When I
run the script, asking for the XP installation files. Can I also put this
path inside the script somehow ? Actually what we are trying to do is to
force this installation through AD.

Again thank you so much :),

The WbemMSI component should use a On | Off switch instead of 0 or 1. I
used

Code:
--------------------
[Components]
WbemMSI = 1
--------------------

in c:\answer.txt and ran %windir%\system32\sysocmgr.exe
/i:%windir%\inf\sysoc.inf /u:c:\answer.txt. The WMI windows installer
provider was not installed. There is a 'page'
(http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/9f657102-373f-4032-8ca6-eaf63ba17ecf1033.mspx?mfr=true)
of all the components. Search for WbemMSI; it tells you WbemMSI = On |
Off.

Code:
--------------------
[Components]
WbemMSI = On
--------------------

would be the correct answer file for installing WMI windows installer
provider. by default, 'it's not installed on Windows server 2003'
(http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa392726.aspx).

I was actually curious if anyone knew the answer to this question?

Provider on a 64-bit machine with sysocmgr.exe but it's asking for th
files from the CD, i want to be able to do this through a batch file o
a remote pc.

Thank

Well, if it is asking for CD then it is working, but you need to have
the i386 folder copied in a location and registry path set.

Put the i386 folder from your Windows XP SP3 install location (or
Vista if you use Vista)

For example I put the i386 folder in the Windows folder so I use these
Registry keys once those files are in place.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup]
"SourcePath"="C:\\Windows"
"ServicePackSourcePath"="C:\\windows"
"CDInstall"=dword:00000000

Yes, you just create a batch file or manually go edit the registry key
located at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\Installation
Sources

point this value to a network location where you have copied your
windows files.
