How Do I Install GOexchange® Using Command Line?

GOexchange® supports command line installation to facilitate unattended scripted installations and deployment using Microsoft® System Management Server.

NOTE: If you are installing GOexchange® on a Microsoft Exchange 5.5 Server, be sure to follow the steps as outlined in "Granting GOSupervisor Exchange 5.5 Administrative Rights" either before or after GOexchange® installation.  If you fail to supply the GOSupervisor™ the appropriate rights, the maintenance jobs will fail.

Command Line Installation Syntax

"setup.exe" /s /v"/qn [OPTIONS]"

Description of OPTIONS: (case sensitive)

ADDLOCAL=[OPTIONS_TO_BE_INSTALLED]

Use this option to set the component(s) (Client, Server, Tools) that you would like to install.  The default value of this option is to install all components. Use a comma to separate options.  For example, if you want to install Client and Server components use the following string:

ADDLOCAL=Client,Server

REMOVE=[OPTIONS_TO_BE_INSTALLED]

Use this option to set the component(s) (Client, Server, Tools) that you would like to uninstall.  The default value of this option is to uninstall all installed components.  For example, if you want to uninstall a Client component use the following string:

REMOVE=Client

INSTALLDIR=[TARGET_DIRECTORY]

Use this option to set the folder into which you would like to install GOexchange®.  The default value of this option is to install component(s) to "C:\Program Files\Lucid8\GOexchange".  For example:

INSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files\Lucid8\GOexchange"

GEUSER=[DOMAIN\USERNAME] (Server component)

Use this option to specify the user account with which you want to start the GOexchange® services.  This option is only valid when the installation includes the Server component.  The default value of this option is "GOSupervisor".  For example:

GEUSER=DOMAIN\GOSupervisor

GEPASS=[PASSWORD] (Server component)

Use this option to set the password for the user account specified in the GEUSER option.  This option is only valid when the installation includes the Server component.  The default value of this option is Lucid8GE3.  For example:

GEPASS=Lucid8GE3

NOTE: The options above are case-sensitive.

For example, "ADDLOCAL" needs to be capitalized and the component names need be written as  "ALL", "Server", "Client", and "Tools".

NOTE: When the "Server" component is requested, the install process checks to see if a user account named "GOSupervisor" exists.  If  this account does not already exist, it will be created following the rules spelled out in "Who is the GOSupervisor?".
