Helpful folks,
We recently upgraded DB2 V7 to V8 on Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition.
The plan is to migrate to V9 as soon as possible. In anticipation of
that migration, IT management has decided that all our user desktop
workstations (a few hundred) should be upgraded to the V9 runtime
client before we migrate the server to V9. This upgrade process will
be automated using a response file.
Our authentication model is set to CLIENT at the server, such that
authentication takes place on each user desktop when they login. (I
know this is badness, but we can't change it yet.) The DB2 Security
Service, which runs on each workstation provides this functionality.
The V9 client install process does not sup****t installing over a V7
client, so I must uninstall the V7 client, then install the V9 client.
However, when I attempt to install the V9 runtime client on a "clean"
box, nothing I try will install the DB2 Security Service. I've tried
toggling just about every parameter in the response file, but to no
avail. A DB2 Management Service appears, but not the security service.
Does anyone know how to get the V9 runtime client setup program to
install the security service? And why in the world does the setup
program for a runtime client install an instance of DB2 on a client
machine???
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
