Deploying MSI via Group Policy with Switches

We need to deploy our new Document Management System and the company have given us the MSI and some script to do this, how do I use this script to apply it to the MSI being deployed with Group Policy. The installation also needs to be silent so the user does not have to input anything for the installation.

Supplied Script:
msiexec /i "Hyland Unity Client.msi" ADDLOCAL=Unity_Client,UpopAutomation CREATE_DESKTOP_SHORTCUTS="1" CREATE_MENU_SHORTCUTS="1" SERVICE_LOCATION_DATA_SOURCE="OnBase" SERVICE_LOCATION_DISPLAY_NAME="OnBase Production" SERVICE_LOCATION_NT_AUTH="true" SERVICE_LOCATION_SERVICE_PATH="https://dms.TheCompany.com/AppServer/Service.asmx"

Hi,

I guess the question is how do I add switches to an MSI install.

This is the code to install locally using the command line

MySoftware.msi ADDLOCAL="Unity_Client,UpopAutomation" CREATE_DESKTOP_SHORTCUTS="1" CREATE_MENU_SHORTCUTS="1" SERVICE_LOCATION_DATA_SOURCE="OnBase" SERVICE_LOCATION_DISPLAY_NAME="OnBase Production" SERVICE_LOCATION_NT_AUTH="true" SERVICE_LOCATION_SERVICE_PATH="https://dms.TheCompany.com/AppServer/Service.asmx"
