Install Monitoring Server by using the command line

Updated: 2009-04-09

The executable program that interprets packages and installs products is Msiexec.exe. Note that the Msiexec executable program also sets an error level on return that corresponds to system error codes. For more information, see System Error Codes on MSDN (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=100160&clcid=0x409).

The command-line options in the following table are available with Windows Installer 3.0 and earlier versions. The standard installer command-line options (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=100161&clcid=0x409) are also available beginning with Windows Installer 3.0.

Note

When you install Monitoring Server from the command line, you cannot specify a built-in account — for example, Network Service, LocalSystem, or Local Service — as the application pool identity account for the Monitoring Web site. You must specify a domain user account.

Note

Either Office SharePoint Server 2007 or Windows SharePoint Services must be installed in order to successfully install and use Monitoring Server. The terms Windows SharePoint Services and SharePoint Services are used collectively in PerformancePoint Server documentation to refer to Office SharePoint Server 2007 and Windows SharePoint Services 3.0.
