I want to automate the process of installation on windows server using powershell script so that i can run those scripts in multiples machines. I have searched online but didn't find any good material to do so from scratch. I am a beginner in powershell.Can anyone provide a sample script to do so?

  • One trick is to extract the setup.exe from the iso file and make the required changes in the Configuration.ini file. A standard configuration.ini file will ensure that exact same installation is present on each and every machine. I have used this with success. One more way is to use the PowerShell Desired State Configuration (DSC). You can find it here. Commented Sep 12, 2019 at 9:21

AFTER you have mounted the ISO file you can install SQL Server:

  1. From cmd passing parameters. Installing a new instance of SQL Server at the command prompt specifying the features to install and how they should be configured.

  2. From configuration file. SQL Server Setup provides the ability to generate a configuration file based upon the system default and run-time inputs. You can use the configuration file to deploy SQL Server throughout the enterprise with the same configuration. You can also standardize manual installations throughout the enterprise, by creating a batch file that launches Setup.exe.
