How to Perform a Silent Installation of the SCCM Console

Installing the SCCM (System Center Configuration Manager) Console can be efficiently managed using command line options for a silent installation. This guide will show you how to ensure a smooth setup, including the necessary ReportViewer component for accessing reports.

Command Line Installation

Use the following commands to perform a silent installation of the SCCM Console:

"consolesetup.exe" /q TargetDir="%programfiles%\Microsoft Configuration Manager\AdminConsole" EnableSQM=0 DefaultSiteServerName=SCCM.labo.fr
"ReportViewer.exe" /q /norestart

These commands include the following parameters:

• /q: Runs the installer in silent mode.
• TargetDir="%programfiles%\Microsoft Configuration Manager\AdminConsole": Specifies the installation directory for the SCCM Console.
• EnableSQM=0: Disables the Software Quality Metrics (SQM) feature.
• DefaultSiteServerName=SCCM.labo.fr: Sets the default site server name.

Additionally, installing ReportViewer.exe is necessary for accessing SCCM reports. Use the following command:

"ReportViewer.exe" /q /norestart

This command includes:

• /q: Ensures the installation runs silently without user interaction.
• /norestart: Prevents the system from restarting automatically after installation.
