Silent Client Installation

When you want to set up an AX client without user intervention, do the following.

 

Export a Config file and place it in a shared location. Eg AXSERVER.axc

 

Create a text file in the same directory as the installation file. Insert into it the following:

 

LogDir="C:\TMP"

HideUi=1

AcceptLicenseTerms=1

InstallClientUI=1

ClientConfig=1

ClientAosServer=AXSERVER

ClientLanguage=en-au

ClientConfigFile="P:\DynamicsAX\config\AXSERVER.axc"

ConfigurePrerequisites=1

 

Then just call the setup file from the prompt by using this syntax

P:\DynamicsAX\install\setup.exe ParmFile=P:\DynamicsAX\install\SilentParamFile.txt

 

The same thing can be done with the Service Pack installs

 

Text File Content:

LogDir="C:\TMP"

HideUi=1

AcceptLicenseTerms=1

 

Then run

P:\DynamicsAX\SP1\axupdate.exe ParmFile=P:\DynamicsAX\SP1\SilentParamFileSP1.txt
