SUMMARY

This article lists command options for Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server Setup.

MORE INFORMATION

setup.exe /disasterrecovery
Allows you to recover from missing files, registry keys, and deleted folders. You must make sure that there is a valid backup of the data and if not, check to make sure the databases that are located on the server are consistent.

setup.exe /forestprep
Prepares your Windows 2000 forest for Exchange 2000.

setup.exe /domainprep
Prepares the domain that the computer is a part of for Exchange 2000.

setup.exe /createunattend filename.ini
Creates an unattended file named filename.ini.

setup.exe /unattendfile filename.ini
Runs in unattended mode with settings in filename.ini.

setup.exe /password password
Logs the current user on automatically.

setup.exe /encryptedmode
Runs with the /createunattend switch to create an unattended file that uses encryption.

This switch works only during unattended mode. It hides the Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 administrator password in an encrypted registry value on the local computer where the unattended file was created. However, because it hides it in the local computer registry, the unattended file created with the /encrypt dmode switch will not work on any other computer. So it works in the sense that, if you are creating a mixed-mode unattended file instead of displaying the Exchange Server 5.5 administrator password in clear text, it will remove that password from the unattended file. setup.exe /showui
Displays the user interface (UI); use in conjunction with the /unattendfile switch to show the UI even though you are running off of an unattended file.

setup.exe /noeventlog
Turns off event logging.

setup.exe /noerrorlog
Turns off error logging.

setup.exe /all
Enables all components for installation, upgrade, or reinstallation. setup.exe /?
Displays the list of options available for Exchange 2000 Setup.
