prathapml Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Hey, we have used other switches before, but not the "/O" switch.In the commandNAVSetup.exe /O REBOOT=ReallySuppress /qbwhich is run to make it install silently, what is the function of the "/O" switch ?

DTM.inc Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Can someone please confirm, In regards to the Computer name that is automatically generated at install, will it be exactly the same the next time a fresh install is done? I ask this in reference to the files that are copied over for pre activation Of course the pre activated files are only valid for your machine !So with that in mind will I have to instruct my computer to have a set name or will it automatically generate the same name next time?

snakesnake Posted September 23, 2004 Author Share Posted September 23, 2004 i don't knowi found that switch in a nav2004 topic, tried it and it worked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Well then, that being so, I'd make this cautionary note:Please don't use switches, until you know exactly WHAT each one does.I've been seeing "/O" for norton products, and "/W" for winrar installs being bandied about in the last few days. In both of these cases, these switches have no function, and its better to not use it - since using an unknown switch/tweak can cause more negatives than not using one.No offense towards anybody, that's just a friendly cautionary piece.

ToBe Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 When I tried to install NIS 2004 silently, it didn't work with just REBOOT=ReallySuppress /qb, so I looked at the file with a hexeditor and found the /O swith. That made it silent, but I don't know what else it does.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
