Command Line installation is similar to silent installations as it is capable of installing IMail Server with no User Interface. This method allows new IMail Server installations to be started with command-line settings initialized to suit each computers need, requiring minimal if any interaction from the user.
Note: Silent Installs currently will only install using the IMail User Database.
See example at bottom of the page.
Warning: This command line utility will currently not work for repairs or upgrades. It was designed for new installations only.
Note: Activation on multiple computers will require multiple serial numbers.
