Command Line
Novell Client software is installed by setupnw.exe

The setupnw.exe installation process can be modified by two different command line switches:

/U: Applies client settings and modifies install behavior based on settings in a specified configuration (unattend) file created by Novell Client Install Manager (nciman.exe). For more information, see Creating the Configuration File (Unattend File).

/ACU: Directs setupnw.exe to perform an upgrade of the currently installed client software only if the version to be installed is a later one.

/ACU and /U can be specified together at the command line.

K1000 deployment example-
1. Create an unattend file using nciman.exe (Located on a machine that has the client installed, at the client install location. Usually C:\novell or %Programfiles%\Novell\Client)
2. ZIP the unattend file and all installer contents together.
3. Upload ZIP to K1000 and create a Managed install. Choose configure manually. Command line will be
setupnw.exe /U:Unattend.txt
