Radmin Server Command-Line Switches


Radmin server has several command line switches. Normally, all settings can be set through the installation process or by using 'Radmin server setup' and the user need not use any command line switches.


These switches are intended to be used by System Administrators. With these switches you can manually install\uninstall parts of Radmin, such as the service and the driver, or set a password or port number.


Usage: r_server.exe <switches>
/setup - shows a dialog box in which you can install the service and a driver or set a password or port number for the server.
Example: r_server.exe /setup
[/port:xxxx] [/pass:xxxxx] - if there are no other switches specified, except /port or /pass, r_server runs as the Radmin server with a password and a port from the command line or from the registry, if those corresponding switches are omitted.


Example: r_server.exe
Example: r_server.exe /pass:mypass
Example: r_server.exe /port:5505
Example: r_server.exe /port:3333 /pass:qwerty
/save [/port:xxxx] [/pass:xxxxx] - saves the password and/or the port in the default program settings in the registry. If you do not specify the port and/or the password using this option, the default port and/or the empty password is saved. 
Example: r_server.exe /port:5505 /pass:qwerty /save 
This saves values of the port and password in the registry. These values will be used when r_server.exe is executed without parameters (/pass or /port) in the command line.


Example: r_server.exe /save
This saves the default port and the empty password in the registry.
/install - install the service (Win95/98 or NT4.0 and Win2k) and a driver (WinNT only)
IMPORTANT NOTE: To be installed, the driver (raddrv.dll) must be placed in the System32 directory in your Windows directory.
Example: r_server.exe /install


/uninstall - uninstall the service and a driver, if present.
Example: r_server.exe /uninstall


/installservice - install the service only (Win95/98 or WinNT)


Example: r_server.exe /installservice


/uninstallservice - uninstall the service only
NOTE : Failure to remove the service usually indicates that it was not installed. 
Example: r_server.exe /uninstallservice


/installdrv - to install the driver (works only in NT 4.0)
IMPORTANT NOTE: To be installed, the driver (raddrv.dll) must be placed in System32 directory in your Windows directory
Example: r_server.exe /installdrv


/uninstalldrv - uninstall the driver only.
NOTE : Failure to remove the driver usually indicates that it was not installed. 


Example: r_server.exe /uninstalldrv


/silence - do not show 'error' or 'ok' message boxes,
in /install, /uninstall or /save commands.


/stop - stops Radmin server. This command can stop the service and application as well. To stop the service under WinNT/Win2k your user must have rights to do it.


/unregister - delete an already entered key for Radmin.


/? - shows a help screen.
