You can use a command line to silently install/upgrade or modify/reinstall the server features. On the server, use the following syntax:
Setup_DE_Server_11.0.44.xxx.exe /s /z"-mode:Modify -installOption:[options] -server:[server] -database:[database] -user:[user] -password:[password] -DocCenterPath:[path] -DS_PathtoLog:[path] -RP_PathtoLog:[path] -FE_InstallOption:[options] -DE_EC_Login:[user] -DE_EC_Password:[password] -DU_Clinic:[clinic] -DU_Path:[path] -DU_EC_Login:[user] -DU_EC_Password:[password]"
Explanation:
-mode - This parameter may be omitted to install the server features, but the parameter is required to modify/reinstall the server features. If this parameter is included, its value must be Modify.
Example: -mode:Modify
-InstallOption - This parameter's value may consist of any of the following options and end with a pound sign (#):
#RUNSCRIPTS - Include this option to run scripts to update the database.
#ADAUTH - Include this option if Dentrix Enterprise uses Active Directory to authenticate users. If this option is included, the #RUNSCRIPTS option must also be included. Do not include this option if users enter user names and passwords to access Dentrix Enterprise (SQL authentication).
#RPTSCHED - Include this option to install or update the report scheduling service.
#DTXDATA - Include this option to install or update the data services (eligibilities) service.
#DTXRECURRINGPAYMENTS - Include this option to install or update the recurring payments service (for Axia only).
#FILEEXCHANGE - Include this option to install or update the file exchange services.
#DENTALENCOUNTER - Include this option to install or update the dental encounter service.
#DOCUU - Include this option to install or update the document unfiled utility service. A client installation is also required for this feature.
Note: If this parameter is omitted, #RUNSCRIPTS#ADAUTH# will be used unless there are no records in the database; in which case, the installation will be canceled.
Example: -InstallOption:#RUNSCRIPTS#RPTSCHED#
-server - This parameter's value must be the database server's IP address or name. Also, if the SQL instance that houses your Dentrix Enterprise database has a name, after the IP address or name of the server, include a backslash (\) and then the instance name.
Example: -server:DXEDBSERVER\Dentrix
-database - This parameter's value must be the name of your database. Dentrix is the default name of the database, but it may be different if it has been customized for your installation.
Example: -database:Dentrix
-user - This parameter's value must be the user name of a user account with the sysadmin security role for your SQL instance.
Example: -user:sa
-password - For Active Directory authentication, omit this parameter. For SQL authentication, this parameter's value must be the password for the user account that was specified for the -user parameter.
Example: -password:123Abc!$%
-DocCenterPath - This parameter's value must be the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path to the shared folder on the network where the Document Center files are stored. All users must have read and write access to this location.
Example: -DocCenterPath:\\DXEFILESERV\DTXData\Doc_Repository\

-FE_InstallOption - This parameter is required if the -InstallOption parameter's value includes the #FILEEXCHANGE option. For the value, enter a comma-delimited list of the applicable services.
Example: -FE_InstallOption:Dtx.CDAExportService,Dtx.DocExportService,Dtx.CDAImportService,Dtx.DocImportService
-DE_EC_Login and -DE_EC_Password - These parameters are required if the -InstallOption parameter's value includes the #DENTALENCOUNTER option. For the values, enter a user name and password.
Example: -DE_EC_Login:DXEServiceUser -DE_EC_Password:123Abc!$%
-DU_Clicnic, -DU_Path, -DU_EC_Login, and -DU_EC_Password - These parameters are required if the -InstallOption parameter's value includes the #DOCUU option. For the values, enter a clinic ID, path to the folder for files, user name, and password.
