SUMMARY
=======

Page 3 of the "Microsoft Systems Management Server Resource Guide" states that
the PREINST command requires braces {} around the sitecode in the /DEINSTALL and
/UPGRADE switches. This is incorrect. The correct syntax for the options is

     /DEINSTALL:sitecode
     /UPGRADE:sitecode

without braces around sitecode.

MORE INFORMATION
================

The only switch for PREINST that requires braces is the /DELSITE switch to
indicate which site to delete from the database. For example:

     PREINST /DELSITE:{sitecode,parentsite}

Additional query words: prodsms hman hierarchy manager mgr
