To do a silent setup at the server
About this task
Procedure
1. Install the Domino® server program files on a server system, but do not run the Domino server setup program.
2. At the command prompt on the server, from the Domino program directory, do one of the following:
- On a Windows™ server, enter
nserver -silent c:\myprofile.pds
- On a UNIX™ server, enter
server -silent /myprofile.pds
Note: If the profile file is not in the root directory, use the profile's full path in the command.
Note: Entering nserver -help or server -help displays the parameters available for working with server setup profiles.
3. If the profile uses existing server, certifier, or administrator IDs that require passwords, do the following:
a. Create a text file that contains the passwords for the existing IDs. The keywords in this are:
Server=
AddServer=
Certifier=
OUCertifier=
Administrator=
b. Add a parameter in the command line for the name of the password file. For example, on Windows enter:
nserver -silent c:\myprofile.pds c:\passwd.txt
4. If this is a partitioned server setup, add the = parameter to the command line to specify the NOTES.INI file in this partition's Domino data directory. For example, on Windows enter:
nserver -silent c:\myprofile.pds =c:\domino\data2\notes.ini
5. Check the errorlog.txt file in the Domino data directory to confirm that the setup is complete, or to view any error messages that were generated during setup.

Where myprofile is the name you gave the setup profile and serveraddress is the host name or network address of the server you are setting up.
Note: If the profile file is not in the root directory, use the profile's full path in the command.

a. Create a text file that contains the passwords for the existing IDs. The keywords in this are:
Server=
AddServer=
Certifier=
