Requirements

• The .NET Extension Support feature requires Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 or higher. If Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 or higher is not found, the .NET Extension Support feature will not be available for installation. Esri recommends using the latest available version of the .NET Framework 4.8 series.

For more information, see System requirements.

Installation command line parameters

The following parameter is required when installing ArcGIS Server silently.

• ACCEPTEULA=yes

  This property is required to accept the End User License Agreement during a silent installation. Specify yes to agree to the EULA and install the software. Specifying no or omitting this property will result in a failed installation. The download contains a PDF version of the End User License Agreement (EULA). The EULA.pdf file is located in the \Documentation folder.

See the following example:

<path to the ArcGIS Server setup download>\setup.exe /qb ACCEPTEULA=yes

Optional installation command line parameters

The following are optional Windows Installer command line parameters to be used when installing ArcGIS Server silently. Use these commands to change the installation location of ArcGIS Server and Python, and to indicate whether the optional ArcMap Runtime Support and optional .NET Extension Support features will be installed.

• INSTALLDIR=<installation location>

  This property allows you to specify the installation location of ArcGIS Server from the command line. If you do not set this property, the default installation location of C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Server\ is used.

• INSTALLDIR1=<installation location for Python>

  This property allows you to specify the installation location of Python from the command line. If you do not set this property, the default location for this feature is \Python27 on the local drive with the most available disk space.

• ADDLOCAL=<optional features to install>

  This property is used to specify whether the optional ArcMap Runtime Support and optional .NET Extension Support features are installed. Using this property is not necessary if you intend to install both optional components.

  Note:

  For more information about why you might want to disable ArcMap Runtime Support, see Security best practices.

  Values that can be assigned to the ADDLOCAL property are as follows:

  • GIS_Server—Only used if neither the ArcMap Runtime Support or .NET Extension Support features are to be installed.
  • ArcMap—Installs the ArcMap Runtime Support feature.
  • DotNetSupport—Installs the .NET Extension Support feature.

  Use the following examples to install ArcGIS Server from the command line.

Example 1: Change the installation location of ArcGIS Server and Python 2.7.18:

<path to the ArcGIS Server setup download>\setup.exe /qb ACCEPTEULA=yes INSTALLDIR=C:\NewServerDir INSTALLDIR1=C:\NewPythonDir USER_NAME=myaccount PASSWORD=my.password

Example 2: Install only the .NET Extension Support feature (but not ArcMap Runtime Support):

<path to the ArcGIS Server setup download>\setup.exe /qb ACCEPTEULA=yes ADDLOCAL=DotNetSupport USER_NAME=myaccount PASSWORD=my.password

Example 3: Install only the ArcMap Runtime Support feature (but not .NET Extension Support):

<path to the ArcGIS Server setup download>\setup.exe /qb ACCEPTEULA=yes ADDLOCAL=ArcMap USER_NAME=myaccount PASSWORD=my.password

Example 4: Do not install the ArcMap Runtime Support and .NET Extension Support features:

<path to the ArcGIS Server setup download>\setup.exe /qb ACCEPTEULA=yes ADDLOCAL=GIS_Server USER_NAME=myaccount PASSWORD=my.password

Configuring the ArcGIS Server account using command line parameters

The ArcGIS Server account must be configured when ArcGIS Server is installed silently. For production systems, it is recommended that you designate a preexisting account that resides in your domain or Active Directory and follows your organization's security policy. If command line parameters are not used to configure the ArcGIS Server account during silent installations, the account is set to the Local System account. This is primarily for the convenience of quickly installing ArcGIS Server.

Use the command line parameters below to configure the ArcGIS Server account.

Authorizing ArcGIS Server silently

Run the following command to authorize ArcGIS Server silently, editing the command line where necessary to reflect the actual authorization file location:

<System disk drive>\Program files\Common files\ArcGIS\bin\SoftwareAuthorization.exe /S /Ver 10.8 /LIF <path to .prvc authorization file>authorizationfile.prvc

Using the createsite command line utility to create an ArcGIS Server site

At 10.6, you can use the createsite command line utility to create a new ArcGIS Server site once ArcGIS Server has been installed. Two options available for using the createsite utility are as follows:

• Run the createsite utility as an administrator from a command prompt and specify user name, password, config-store, and directory parameters.
• Provide a createsite.properties file containing specified parameters.

For the usage of the createsite command line utility, run the createsite.bat script with -h or -help as shown below:

<ArcGIS Server Installation Directory>\tools\createsite\createsite.bat -help

Example usage with the utility: createsite.bat [-u <arg>] [-p <arg>] [-d <arg>] [-c <arg>]

Example usage using a file: createsite.bat [-f <FILE>]

An example of the createsite.properties file:

#
# Configuration properties for Server site creation
#
# User name for primary site administrator.
# Cannot contain these characters: \/:*?<>"
SERVER_ADMIN_USERNAME = 
# Password for primary site administrator.
# Cannot contain these characters: \/:*?<>"
SERVER_ADMIN_PASSWORD = 
# Initially, leave SERVER_ADMIN_PASSWORD_ENCRYPTED set to false.
# When you run the tool the first time, the password will be
# encrypted and SERVER_ADMIN_PASSWORD_ENCRYPTED will change to true.
SERVER_ADMIN_PASSWORD_ENCRYPTED = false
# Root server directory. By default, the server directories will be created locally, 
# e.g.C:\\arcgisserver\\directories, or \\\\<Absolute path to>\\<Server directories>.
SERVER_DIRECTORIES_PATH = 
# Configuration store for the ArcGIS Server site. By default, the configuration store will be created locally, 
# e.g. C:\\arcgisserver\\config-store, or \\\\<Absolute path to>\\<Server config-store>.
SERVER_CONFIGSTORE_PATH =

You will receive a message that the ArcGIS Server site has been created successfully before the tool exits.
