Setting the URL for the Siebel Server

You can specify the URL that the Synchronization Engine uses to connect with the Siebel Server.

To set the URL for the Siebel Server

Enter the following parameters on the msiexec command line anywhere after the mandatory CRMDesktop.msi name parameter:
```
SIEBEL_SERVER_PROTOCOL=protocol SIEBEL_SERVER_HOST=host_name_or_address 
SIEBEL_SERVER_PORT=server_port SIEBEL_SERVER_COMPONENT=component_name 
SIEBEL_SERVER_SUFFIX=request_suffix
```
where:
- protocol is http. HTTP is the default value.
- host_name_or_address is the computer name or IP address of the target server. This parameter is empty, by default. To use a fully qualified domain name for the server_address variable, you must set the EnableFQDN parameter in the configuration (cfg) file. For more information, see Siebel System Administration Guide.
- server_port is 80. 80 is the default value.
- component_name is eai/enu. eai/enu is the default value.
- request_suffix is the following default value:
```
?SWEExtSource=WebService&SWEExtCmd=Execute&WSSOAP=1
```
For example:
```
msiexec.exe /I CRMDesktop.msi SIEBEL_SERVER_PROTOCOL=http 
SIEBEL_SERVER_HOST=sdcv440s133.siebel.com SIEBEL_SERVER_PORT=80 
SIEBEL_SERVER_COMPONENT=eai/enu SIEBEL_SERVER_SUFFIX= 
?SWEExtSource=WebService&SWEExtCmd=Execute&WSSOAP=1
```
No parameters are required.

Any information that you set in these parameters sets the parameter values in the Windows Registry, so the user is not required to set them. For example, the protocol variable of the SIEBEL_SERVER_PROTOCOL parameter overrides the Siebel:Protocol entry in the Windows Registry. For more information, see Using the Windows Registry to Control Siebel CRM DesktopYou can also use XML code to override the URL. For more information, see XML Code That Customizes Forms.
