GoBack Setup command line options

Situation:
You need a list of the GoBack Setup command line options.

Solution:
You can use the following command line options when you install GoBack Enterprise Edition on a client computer.

The GoBack Setup for your client computers is run from the GoBack setup file's shared location.

Whether using a script-based installation, a disk image-based installation, or a hand-installation at the clients, you start Setup and set installation options using Setup.exe and the following command line switches.

Switch and Switch DescriptionDetailed Description
/KxCD (License) Key
Install GoBack using provided CD Key where x is the CD Key.
/QQuiet Install
Installs GoBack silently, requiring no user intervention during Setup. Setup will automatically reboot the system to complete the GoBack installation. If /Q is not accompanied by a /C switch, as described below, an Easy Install is performed (10% of disk space allocated to GoBack on each hard disk).
/Cx=nnnnCustom install GoBack on drive(s)
Specify on which logical drive and what size to create the file Gobackio.bin (GoBack History file), where x specifies the logical drive and nnnn specifies the size in megabytes (to a maximum of 4000). Entering 0 (zero) for nnnn will instruct GoBack to not install on the given drive. x is optional and, if not used, the nnnn size will be installed on all physical drives in the partition with the most available free space. NOTE: You must uninstall and re-install GoBack to change the size of the GoBack history file after Setup.
/REEnable Remote Administration Agent
Upon completion of Setup the services required for Remote Administration are started on the client computer. This switch is assumed if any of the switches /RN /RP /RS /RC are specified. NOTE: When enabling/installing Remote Administration, Setup will require a reboot.
/RNxServer host name
For the GoBack Remote Administration Server (the computer running the GoBack Web Application), where x equals the host name. This switch with the associated GoBack server name is required when enabling GoBack Remote Administration.
/RPxServer path To the GoBack Web Application where x equals the path (case-sensitive). (The default path is /GoBack/action/updateStatus.)
/RSxServer TCP port number
For the GoBack Web Application where x equals the TCP port (the default port 8080, and is also the default port used by Tomcat). This port should match your Tomcat HTTP port designation, or your Apache HTTP port, if using Apache with the Tomcat plug-in.
/RCxClient TCP port number
On which the GoBack client will listen for GBWA instructions, where x equals the TCP listening port (the default is 40088).
/RUUninstalls Remote Administration Agent
When run over a previous GoBack installation with Remote Administration enabled.
/SxSet the GoBack Administrator password
This password secures the GoBack features on the client computer that you designate as GoBack administrator-only features. Additionally, this password is used by GoBack Remote Administration to invoke commands on the PC. Replace x with the desired password. GoBack passwords are case sensitive and can contain up to 15 alphabetic characters [a-z; A-Z] and/or numbers. The password cannot contain spaces. NOTE: This is the GoBack Administrator password for the computer and should not be confused with user accounts for the GoBack Remote Administration console.
/NDo not add a GoBack icon to the user's desktop
The GoBack icon will not be added to the client PC desktop. However, a GoBack icon will be placed in the Windows Start menu, allowing users to access GoBack.
/TDo not add a GoBack icon in the user’s system tray
The GoBack tray icon will not be added to the client system tray.
/BDo not reboot
After completing Setup. Note: A reboot will be necessary before GoBack is active and running.
/DDisable GoBack
Upon completion of Setup.
/EEnable GoBack
If GoBack is disabled.
/UUninstall GoBack
This completely removes GoBack from the computer.
