To install all or just some of the Device Manager 2011 server components, use the inipath option of msiexec.exe to refer to a custom setup initialization file (.ini file). Set a parameter to 1 or leave it blank to install the corresponding component. If you don’t want to install the component, set the corresponding parameter to 0.

To turn off device collections, use the inipath option disableautomaticcollections. This stops Device Manager 2011 from automatically creating device collections. By default, this option is set to 0, which enables Device Manager 2011 to automatically generate collections.
