IDERA provides a solution for administrators who have SQL Diagnostic Manager deployed within their environment, and want to provide their users with the SQL Diagnostic Manager desktop client console without exposing other SQL Diagnostic Manager components. Administrators can use this process to prevent a user from unknowingly installing an additional service component, which can cause issues with SQL Diagnostic Manager within your environment.
Store the SQL Diagnostic Manager Console-only executable
You can store the SQL Diagnostic Manager Console-only executable (.exe) files on many types of media for distribution, such as a portable or network drive. Your end-users can install the SQL Diagnostic Manager desktop client console on any computer that meets or exceeds the product requirements.
The following file resides in the directory where the SQL Diagnostic Manager installation Kit was extracted. For example, if the installation files were extracted to the default location, the executable can be found at the following path:
c:\Program Files\Idera\SQLdm x64 Installation Kit\x64\SQLDiagnosticManager-x64.exe
This executable should be only used when performing the silent install.
