One of the components in the deployment of FIM 2010 SSPR is the client roll-out of the Add-ins and Extensions for FIM 2010. There are a few ways of achieving this but the following is a simple batch file that will detect the client OS version and deploy the appropriate components.

Thank you to Craig Eldridge for the script.

if %PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE% == AMD64 goto AMD64
if %PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE% == x86 goto x86
GOTO EXIT
:AMD64
msiexec /i \\servername\sharename\FIM\addins\x64\Add-insetc.msi /quiet ADDLOCAL=PasswordClient RMS_LOCATION=<portal server> PORTAL_LOCATION=<portal server> PORTAL_PREFIX=https SITELOCK_DOMAIN="<servername>/<FQDN Name>" /log fim.log goto EXIT
86
msiexec /i \\servername\sharename\FIM\addins\x86\Add-insetc.msi /quiet ADDLOCAL=PasswordClient RMS_LOCATION=<portal server> PORTAL_LOCATION=<portal server> PORTAL_PREFIX=https SITELOCK_DOMAIN="<servername>/<FQDN Name>" /log fim.log
goto EXIT
:EXIT

Check out the following additional resource for more information on the options available with the unattended installation. TechNet – Unattended Installation of FIM 2010

To troubleshooting the client installation you can check the “fim.log” that was created and search for   “Return Value 3” which signifies a Windows Installer Error.

One last thing: The script above would install the client components and force a restart of the client machine. To ignore the restart you can add the “/norestart” option just before of after the “/quite” option.
