This issue needs to be opened in https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/windowsserverdocs-pr/issues.

The doc would go in https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/windowsserverdocs-pr/tree/master/WindowsServerDocs/administration/OpenSSH.

Probably need to review existing docs to see how this doc needs to be added.

Ah, thanks! To clarify, the MSI installer will be used with OpenSSH GitHub releases, does this still need to be moved to the Windows server docs repo?

[heaths]

For now it takes standard Windows Installer properties on the command line like https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/msi/addlocal. By default, both Client and Server features will install, but if someone just wanted to install the client they could do:

msiexec /i openssh.msi REMOVE=Server

See https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/win32/msi/command-line-options for Windows Installer command line options. Would be worth linking to in the docs, IMO.

After Shiproom discussion, the plan is that you should update the documentation in the Wiki. We will plan for how to migrate the Wiki articles to the Docs platform at a later date. Closing this issue.
