Set-up Command line options

If you want to run the GFI FAXmaker client set-up in unattended mode, you can specify the following options on the command line of the MSI file. MSI files can be run from the command line with the following command: msiexec /i "<full path to client MSI file>"

‘SILENTPRINTERDRIVER=1’: Installs the printer driver silently. Note that an older driver is installed, in order to bypass the windows uncertified driver install dialog. If using the parameter, make sure that the policy to prevent Kernel mode printer drivers is not set.

‘USEOUTLOOKFORM=1’: Configures the Outlook New Message form to pop up instead of the GFI FAXmaker New Message Form, after a user prints to the GFI FAXmaker printer driver.

‘LANGUAGE=<language:<insert language> >’: Specifies the language of the client to be installed. Available options are ENGLISH, GERMAN, ITALIAN, SPANISH, FRENCH.

If using an SMTP routing rule (sink mode, i.e. with Exchange 2000/2003/2007/2010/5.5 or another mail server), you just have to specify the mail server machine name, using the following command line parameter:

MAILSERVER=<mail server IP or machine name>

If using an SMTP/POP3 server or an ISP hosted mail server, you must specify the GFI FAXmaker fax server. In this case the faxes are delivered directly to the GFI FAXmaker machine, not via the mail server:

FAXSERVER=<fax server IP or machine name>

If you are using the POP3 connector to collect the faxes (mailbox mode, i.e. Lotus Notes or an SMTP/POP3 mail server, you have to specify the mail server name and fax mailbox, using the following command line parameters:

MAILSERVER=<mail server IP or machine name>

FAXMAILBOX=<email address of fax server mailbox>

NOTE: The faxserver and mailserver command line options are mutually exclusive. The fax mailbox command line option requires the mailserver command line.

USESSL=<0 or 1>: Enables SSL.

USEAUTH=<0 or 1>: Enables SMTP authentication.

USESPA=<0 or 1>: Enables Secure Password Authentication, which uses the credentials of the currently logged on user to authenticate against the mail server. Ensure that your mail server supports this. (Ignored if USEAUTH=0)

SMTPACCOUNT=<account string>: This account name is used for SMTP authentication. (Ignored if USEAUTH=0)

SMTPPASSWORD=<password string>: The password required for the account above. (Ignored if USEAUTH=0)

Examples

To run msi with command lines, use the following command in the command prompt:

msiexec /i "<full path to client MSI file>" MAILSERVER=mailsrv FAXMAILBOX=fax@myinternaldomain.com LANGUAGE=<language:german>
