How to Create configuration files for installation of SQL Server

  • Hi,

  • Hi, the easiest way to get you started I think is to use the Configuration File generated by SQL 2008+. If you go through the motions of an install, choosing all of the options that you want as part of your standard, but stop on the 'Ready to Install' screen before you click Install. At the bottom of this screen is a Configuration File Path: section. Something like...

    C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Log\20130822_100924\ConfigurationFile.ini

    SQL has generated this automatically using the options you've selected. Take a copy of it and it should contain almost all that you need.

    Cheers

    setup.exe /ACTION=INSTALL /CONFIGURATIONFILE= {......} etc.

  • Thanks Very much Rod.
