Hi everybody,
Do you know where can I find a list of properties that I can pass to the server.msi package in order to specify the destination for the SQL Server databases (Data and Log)?
Thanks

Hi Sylvain,
Did you check the OCS_CommandLine.doc?
In the Pools section you will find the syntax for creating a pool, e.g.:
LCSCmd.exe /Forest /Action:CreatePool /PoolName
ool01 /Poolbe
ool01-backend\Live /RefDomain:corp.woodgrovebank.com /dbdatapath:“e:\Microsoft\LC Data”/dblogpath:“d:\Microsoft\LC Log” /DynDataPath:“e:\Microsoft\LC DynData /DynLogPath:“d:\Microsoft\LC DynLog” MeetingContentPath:“d:\Microsoft\MeetingData” /MeetingMetaPath:“d:\Microsoft\MetaData”
In the "Communications Server 2007 Usage Instructions, Parameters, and Switches" section, you will find a short explanation:
/DBDataPath
Specifies the folder where the database data file will be located.
/DBLogPath
Specifies the folder where DB log file is located.
/DynDataPath
Specifies the folder where dynamic database data log file should be located.
/DynLogPath
Specifies the folder where dynamic database log file should be located.
Does that does not answer your question?
Thanks

Thank you very much, I will try this immediately. I don't understand why I've not seen this section in the document.

Ok, I know why I cannot do what you said. In fact I want to install a Standard Edition Server. The CreatePools command is only for enterprise server.
Maybe that I can use the same parameters during the standard Edition Server Activation, but in this case it's not documented.
I will try.

I've found the properties to specify the databases paths in the command line of the server.msi package for a Standard installation of MOCS :
DBUSERDATADRIVE ("D:" for example)
DBUSERLOGDRIVE
DBDYNDATADRIVE
DBDYNLOGDRIVE
DBUSERDATADIR ("D:\SQL\Data" for example)
DBUSERLOGDIR
DBDYNDATADIR
DBDYNLOGDIR
