SAP Installation Server & GUI 7.10 Remote Installation

[Former Member]

Hello!

We have installed an SAP Installation Server (8.1.0.104) with SAP GUI 7.10 (Patch 9) and created a package for SAP GUI. On our old installation server there was a "remote installation" button, but here on the new version, we cannot see it. Have there been some significant changes?

Thanks for helpful answers!

I had basically the same question about remote installing the gui. Here is a response from OSS about it.

I am sorry but we do not provide a Client Push Installation mechanism.

but only a method to pull a package from an installation server.

Using for instance
<SERVER>\<***>\sapsetup /update /silent

for a pull scenario.

As stated in note 507996, tool like SMS can be used but you you use

the [nw]Sapsetup option

thanx

Hello. In SAPGUI guide :

2.1 Installation Scenarios , read all awailable,

about "remote installation" , may be

"Server-dependent installations are no longer supported with SAP GUI 7.10." Correct me if I am mistaken, but i'm think it other situation.

Sorry but i'm not have experience in 640 servers.

What this button do directly?

Regards.

This button says "remote installation", then it asks you about the remote client name / IP and then you click "start". This was a very easy and quick way to install SAPGUI on a client machine. But now in the new installation server version it all looks different.

Yes, this button we can't find for ouer uses .... May be some one comments this situation from SAP , dear

Rolf-Martin Woersinger, please comment this ..... ? Regards.
