Performing an Administrative Installation

To deploy CA DataMinder to client machines using command-line methods or managed methods such as Group Policy, we recommend that you first perform an administrative installation to your network. This enables client machines to install CA DataMinder directly from the network without generating excessive network traffic or requiring excessive free disk space on the client.

The administrative installation installs a source image of CA DataMinder onto the network in a target folder that you specify. The source image is called Client.msi. Store this source image in a network folder that all the target client machines can access.

To perform an administrative installation

Use the /a command-line option for Msiexec.exe.

Note: See your Microsoft documentation for details about administrative installations.
