AhsayOBM / ACB supports two silent installation options on Windows platform.

To perform a silent or very silent install, refer to the following steps:
Preparation:
-
The AhsayOBM / ACB installers have been branded to include:
- Backup server URL
- Backup server connection protocol
- Backup server port setting
- Owner ID
For example, if the backup server URL is 10.1.0.50, protocol is https, the port is 443 and the owner ID is 0.
The AhsayOBM / ACB installer must be renamed according to the backup server settings, where:
- For AhsayOBM - obm-win-{port number}-{backup server URL}-{protocol}-{owner id}O.exe
- For AhsayACB - acb-win-{port number}-{backup server URL}-{protocol}-{owner id}O.exe
For example:
obm-win-443-10.1.0.50-https-0O.exe
acb-win-443-10.1.0.50-https-0O.exe
- The default language selection on AhsayOBM / ACB will be English.
- Windows UAC (User Account Control) is disabled on the Window computer where AhsayOBM / ACB will be installed.
- The option to install the client application for "Me Only" or "Anyone who uses this computer" can be controlled by the parameters /TASKS="meOnly" or /TASKS="EveryOne" (example to be shown next):
