"domain\User_Name_for_the_Windows_User_Account_under_which_the_NetIQms_Service_
Will_Run" MS_WINPWD="Password_for_the_Windows_User_Account_under_which_the_NetIQms_Service_
Will_Run" MS_RPSERVERNAME="Name_and_Instance_of_the_SQL_Server_that_Hosts_the_QDB_to_which_
the_Management_Server_Will_Connect" MS_RPNAME="Name_of_the_QDB_to_which_the_Management_Server_Will_Connect" MS_B_SQLAUTHMODE=0
