and is supported under WinPE and the Windows environment:

[/MANIFEST="<path>"] [/PERSONALIZATION="<path>"]]

The following table provides the switches for the Base Software Administrator program.

Switch

Description

/DEPLOY

Required to trigger a deployment. If /BOOTSP, /MAN
or /PER is also specified, the deployment wizard is not
displayed.

/SILENT

Suppresses any message boxes for error or successful
completion. (For return codes, see the following table.)

/BOOTSP

Takes an explicit Y or N value to indicate whether the
service partition should be set active, for example
/BOOTSP=Y. A value of N allows the administrator to
reset the C: partition active again, so recovery does not
automatically occur on next reboot.

The executable returns the following codes:

Backups

Scheduling backups and associated tasks

The scheduler is not designed to be specific to the Rescue and Recovery program; however, the
configuration is stored in the registry. When the Rescue and Recovery program is installed, it will populate
the scheduler with the appropriate settings.

The following is a description of the structure of the scheduler:

• Location: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Lenovo.
