Quiet Mode

To upgrade SmartPTT in quiet mode, you must perform the following actions:

• Uninstall the existing SmartPTT version using old installation package.

  # perform uninstall
  $App  --quiet --u --installfolder "C:\Program Files\SmartPTT"
  

• Install a new version using the new installation package.

  PowerShell

  # set path to old installation package
  $App = "\\path\to\new\smartptt.exe"
  
  # set components; e.g. server only
  $Args = "server "
  
  # set installation folder
  $Args += "--installfolder ""C:\Program Files\SmartPTT"" " #(1)
  
  # set up authorization mode; e.g. local
  $Args += "--AUTHSETTINGS AUTHTYPE=Local "
  
  # set up centralized authorization; e.g. "yes"
  $Args += "IS_CENTRALIZED=true "
  
  # set up user groups for sysadmins; e.g. "SmartPttSysadmins"
  $Args += "SYSADMINS='SmartPttSysadmins' "
  $Args += "DBADMINS='SmartPttSysadmins' "
  $Args += "CSLADMINS='SmartPttSysadmins' "
  $Args += "CSLOPS='SmartPttSysadmins' "
  
  # perform install
  $App  --quiet --i  $Args

• Create a script that uninstalls existing SmartPTT versions, and then installs new SmartPTT version.
• Create a tasks for schedulers you use. For example, see instructions on creating upgrade tasks in Task Scheduler.
