What is the best way to update client's GUI from SAP Gui Server ?

[Former Member]

Hello to ALL !

What is the best way to update client's GUI from SAP Gui Server ? I installed gui server and make the package.

I am looking for the best way to mass update GUI on client machines.

I am trying to use group policy logon script (to run my \Setup\NWSAPSETUP.exe /silent /package: "PACKAGENAME"),

but I have some problems, such as:

- I can't run the logon script only once. Otherwise users will update their GUI every time when they are login.

- if I call cmd file there are cmd windows appearing on the screen. If user close it - update will not complete.

If I use two cmd file (one calls the second like start /min GUI_UPDATE.CMD) it didn't work like logon script,

it works only if I start it manually in Windows, maybe due of UNC Path.

So I though there can be another way to update the client's GUI. How do you do this operation ? Thanks!

Hi

Kindly follow the steps

Create the windows share folder  & copy the all SAPGUI installation media on the Share.

before starting the package creation map the network share driver letter S:

1. From the S: create the package based on your requirement 

2  Create a .CMD or .Bat file,

3. Uninstall the exiting version by using the command "nwsapsetup /uninstall /all /nodlg"

4. If it is require rename the folder under the program file\SAP

5. Install the new by package creation

Kindly follow the script .CMD file which we deployed more then 2000 clients by SCCM & ADS
