You can use Wise or SMS installed to automate your install. Every 6 months to a year we will upgrade and configure about 22,000 nt/2k machines 100% automatically. For new installs, you can even have the script self register to a TSM server and add itself into a schedule. There should be no reason why you can't just overwrite your current version of code with 5.1.5.2 unattended and without reboot.

Hello, I am trying to get the installation of TSM 5.1.5.2 to be totally automated. THe silent install seems to be O.K. at putting all the files on the PC. However, we are still trying to get to a point where a person does not have to visit each PC to run through the CONFIGURATION process. Can this be done? Is anyone doing it? How? Second question: If we have TSM client 5.1.0 on a PC and we want to upgrade it to 5.1.5.2 without having to visit the PC. If we do the uninstall and then the silent install we are left with the above problem. Can we just install 5.1.5.2 over the top of 5.1.0 to keep the configuration information? Matt
