Additional
BizTalk Server enables automated electronic software distribution, also known as a Silent Installation. A silent installation does the following:
Installs BizTalk Server on computers that have the same configuration.
Lets system administrators install BizTalk Server on remote computers without user intervention.
A user does not have to monitor the installation and provide input.
To create a silent installation, use the command-line options to suppress all interaction.
When you complete a silent installation, no messages are displayed in the command window. Use the installation log file to review the status.
