Automating secondary server deployment on Windows

This page applies to:

The secondary server installation process can also be automated via command line switches issued to the installer program. This is useful when you need to install the Print Provider on a number of desktop systems hosting local attached printers.

To automate the installation:

  1. Copy the windows installer program, pcmf-setup.exe, into a directory accessible to the target systems (i.e. A network share or mapped drive).

  2. Copy the print-provider.conf file from main server. This file is located at [app-path]/providers/print/win. Place the file in the same directory as the install program (as performed in step 1.)

  3. Edit the print-provider.conf file and define the correct server name or IP address of the main Application Server in the line starting with ApplicationServer= .

  4. Use a batch file or equivalent to start the install program as follows:

    pcmf-setup.exe /TYPE=secondary_print /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES/VERYSILENT

    Note: The installer requires administrator level - needed to install a system service.
