Install SAPGUI with domain policy.

[Former Member]

Hi all,

The sapgui does not have any msi setup file, but exe setup files. I want to deploy the sapgui to all my domain workstations.

Can someone guide me how can i deploy the sapgui software to all my users workstaion through group policy ? I would appreciate if someone could guide precisely.

Thanks in advance.

Kalpesh.

You can deploy MSI files. Read the guide about installation server , packages for example from

and after how you can do MSI --> /people/siddhartha.rao/blog/2008/03/05/new-feature-self-installing-packages

P.S. from Installation server you can deploy any package or product in your Enterprise , using AD users

"login scripts", *.bat files, or other non sap tools ....

hi kalpesh,

SAP seems doesn't provide for MSI but you can deploy SAPGUI on your domain using SAPGUI Distribution Service. You need to install SAPGUI on your server as distribution service.

You can follow this tutorial on my blog, http://sapbasis.wordpress.com

Hi Ardhian,

Thanks for the link to your blog. It is a great resource of tutorials.

I am having some doubt, if you can please clear it.

First i have to do is follow - Installation and Configuration of SAPGUI for Windows using Service Mode

Link: http://sapbasis.wordpress.com/2008/10/20/installation-and-configuration-of-sapgui-for-windows-using-...

There you have mentioned - On SAPGUI folder, go to setup folder and find admsetup.exe file. Double click this file. But i do not find that file exactly but do find a file NwSapSetupAdmin.exe file. If this the same file i have to run ?

Next after installing, how would i edit the setup for clients to be deployed with group policy ? I want to run a silent setup without any user intervention.

I am little confused. If you can please guide me to proper steps once, i would appreciate.

Thanks again.

Kalpesh.

when you build the package in SAP Admin, it will provide you the command-line install you can put in your GPO logon script. It will look something like:

server\path\setup\sapsetup.exe /p:<package>

You can add the switches you need to make it silent also in the command-line.

You can also add predecessor and successor script events to the package, or you can add those events to your GPO object.
