Specifies, by name, the installation package that
contains the profile that you want to install.

Specifies that the profile should be installed
without prompting the user. The verification message
that the installation has succeeded will still
appear.

that determines how the profile should be installed.
The [Drive:][Path] parameter is
not valid for Syntax 1.

running a member of the Windows Server 2003 family,

installed or uninstalled silently (without prompting
for user response or displaying verification
message).

installed for a single user rather than for all
users. This parameter is only valid for computers
running a member of the Windows Server 2003 family,
Windows 2000, or Windows XP.

Remarks
- /s is the only parameter that you can use in combination with /u.
- Syntax 1 is the typical syntax used in a custom installation application. To use this syntax, you must run cmstp from the directory that contains the ServiceProfileFileName.exe file.
