Deployment & Management with PSADK, SCCM & EM

2. WHY i started the project
Start with WHY
WHY i started the project
For automated testing, my team needed an automated SQL Server installation
I didn‘t want to click through the wizard every time i install SQL Server for a customer
An installation procedure which let customize everything as input parameter could be useful for an integration in a client-management solution
I thought it could be a cool solution for the community and could show how to build bridges between Client- and Servermanagement
Get rich ;-) !!!

3. Then EXPLAIN YOUR IDEA
The masterplan
Reading the technet article about automating the installation of SQL Server
Use Powershell (Powershell Appdeployment Toolkit/ PSADK) to build the cmdline parameters
Defined everything as Powershell input parameter to be flexible
Create a presentation

4. The features of the script (Features and Database Engine)
WHAT I HAVE DONE
The features of the script (Features and Database Engine)
Feature Management with switch parameter
SQLEngine, Replication, Fulltext, Backward Comp., Books Online, Connectivity, Basic/Advanced Tools
Update Installation during Setup
Instance Management
Detect existing Instances during Installation / Uninstallation
Switch to enable SQL Security

5. The features of the script (Settings)
WHAT I HAVE DONE
The features of the script (Settings)
Check given collation against delivered csv file
Auto Fallback for Sysadmins to Local Account in case of no value or SYSTEM
Modify account settings and start-behavior of Agent, Service and Browser
Modify path settings for Instance, Data, Backup, TempDB, TempDBLog, UserDB and UserDBLog

6. The features of the script (Several additional Options)
WHAT I HAVE DONE
The features of the script (Several additional Options)
Advanced logging (thanks to PSADK)
Auto-Install of .NET Framework 3.5
Advanced error handling (Example: If component is already installed, script will finish with „success“
Register every Installation to registry

7. Tested on... / Tested with... Windows Server 2012 R2
WHAT I HAVE DONE
Tested on... / Tested with...
Windows Server 2012 R2
Windows Server 2016
Windows 10 Enterprise
SQL Server 2014
SQL Server 2016
SQL Server 2017

8. Examples / How to use WHAT I HAVE DONE
# Installation of SQL Server with windows authentication and use of locally logged in user as administrator
Deploy-Application.exe -DeploymentType Install -FeatureSQL -InstanceName "Test01a„
# Simple installation of SQL Server with SQL Server Security Mode and defined Sysadmin account
Deploy-Application.exe -DeploymentType Install -FeatureSQL -InstanceName "Test02b" -SqlSecurityMode -SAPassword "Coffee2Go" -SysAdmins "perfectbeer\app_sql_admins„
# Simple installation of SQL Server with TCP enabled, defined Sysadmin account and service autostart
Deploy-Application.exe -DeploymentType Install -FeatureSQL -InstanceName "Test03c" -TCP -Collation SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS -ServiceStartType Automatic

9. How the script is working
Integration in SCCM
Optional: Improve functionality with
„Enterprise Manager for SCCM“
