Quick Beginnings for DB2 Connect Enterprise Edition

Chapter 44. Unattended DB2 Installation on Windows 32-bit Operating Systems

During a regular installation, you interact with the install program, filling in a series of panels to set up and configure DB2.

In an unattended installation, you supply the setup and configuration data in a response file you create before running the installation.

You can use this feature to install DB2 products on Windows 32-bit operating systems operating systems:

• Locally, from a CD-ROM (see Installing DB2 Products from a Hard Disk or CD-ROM)

• Remotely, across a network connection from a hard disk or CD-ROM (see Installing DB2 Products from a Hard Disk or CD-ROM)

• Remotely, across a network connection to target workstations, using Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) if it is installed on your Windows NT system (see Installing DB2 Remotely Using SMS).

If you need to install the same DB2 product on several machines, you can use unattended installation's "response file" feature to create a customized configuration, save the customized response file, then reuse it as a template for each installation.
