You can install the features of Service Management Automation by using commands in the Command Prompt window to guide the Windows Installer program for an unattended install.
Windows Installer files
Your installation media contains Windows Installer files for each Service Management Automation of the following features:
· PowerShell module: PowershellModuleInstaller.msi
· Web service: WebServiceInstaller.msi
· Runbook worker: WorkerInstaller.msi
|
|
The installation options must be entered at a command prompt. An answer file is not supported.
PowerShell module installation options
The Service Management Automation PowerShell module is a required prerequisite of the Service Management Automation web service, so you must install the Service Management Automation PowerShell module before you deploy the Service Management Automation web service. The PowerShell module installer takes no parameters. For example, you could use the following command:
msiexec.exe /i PowershellModuleInstaller.msi

If you install additional runbook workers, you must run the Windows PowerShell cmdlet New-SmaRunbookWorkerDeployment to properly configure the runbook worker.
1. Stop the Runbook server service (RunbookService.exe) on each computer on which a runbook worker is installed.
2. Run the following Windows PowerShell command:
New-SmaRunbookWorkerDeployment -<ComputerName> –<WebServiceEndpoint>
3. Restart the Runbook server service on each computer on which a runbook worker is installed.
