Can the Simplify Suite be automatically installed through Active Directory?

The Simplify Suite install is in windows installer format, allowing
for silent installations and deployment through Active Directory. Silent
install is initialized using the /q switch with msiexec.exe, and then
passing in values for properties. The command line syntax to set a property
is PROPERTY=VALUE. Valid properties include:

INSTALLDIR
SQLSERVERNAME
SQLTRUSTED
SQLUSERNAME
SQLPASSWORD

Below is an example of correct syntax to begin a silent installation
of Simplify Suite.

msiexec /i simplify.msi /q SQLSERVERNAME=SQLSVR SQLTRUSTED=no SQLUSERNAME=sa
SQLPASSWORD=sapwd

SQLUSERNAME and SQLPASSWORD are only necessary when SQLTRUSTED=no. If
SQLTRUSTED=yes, then the install ignores the SQL username and password.

A silent installation cannot be performed using the install bundled
with the MSDE (SimplifyMSDE.exe). Instead, the (Simplify.msi) will is
required. Additionally, a silent install cannot perform database operations
such as creating a new database. A simplify database must already exist
for the silent install to work.
