=== Description

The `install-node-dcom` subcommand installs {productName} software
on the hosts that are specified as the operand of the subcommand. This
subcommand requires the Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) remote
protocol to be configured on the host where the subcommand is run and on
each host where the {productName} software is being installed. The
DCOM protocol is available only on Windows systems.

[NOTE]
====
To install {productName} software on hosts that use secure shell
(SSH), use the
link:install-node-ssh.html#install-node-ssh-1[`install-node-ssh`(1)]
subcommand.
====

If necessary, the subcommand creates a ZIP archive of the
{productName} software from the installation where this subcommand
is run. The archive does not contain the `domains` directory or the
`nodes` directory. These directories are synchronized from the domain
administration server (DAS) when instances on nodes that represent the
hosts are created and started. The subcommand does not delete the
archive after installing the {productName} software from the archive
on the specified hosts.

If multiple hosts are specified, the configuration of the following
items is the same on all hosts:

* Base installation directory
* Windows user
* Windows domain

By default, the subcommand runs interactively and prompts for a password
to authenticate the Windows user on each host where the
{productName} software is being installed. To enable the subcommand
to run noninteractively, the following conditions must be met:

* The `--interactive` option of the
  link:asadmin.html#asadmin-1m[`asadmin`(1M)] utility must be `false`.
* The `--passwordfile` option of the `asadmin` utility must specify a
  password file.
* The password file must contain the `AS_ADMIN_WINDOWSPASSWORD` entry.

The subcommand does not modify the configuration of the DAS.

This subcommand is supported in local mode only.
