SharePoint 2010 scripted install with powershell part 2

SharePoint Prerequisites

In this second part I’ll let you see how to install the prerequisites that are needed for a successful SharePoint 2010 installation.

In part 1 of these series you might have read that I install everything on one server. Windows 2008 R2, Active Directory and SQL 2008 R2 CTP. When you’re in the same situation you don’t have to install the SQL Client tools (sqlncli.exe) and the SQL 2008 ADOMD 1.0 (SQLSERVER2008_ASADOMD10.msi).

The PowerShell script (copy script below to text file and save as .ps1 file) will be like:

#Execute prerequisiteinstaller.exe with the unattended parameter to install SharePoint prereqs
& ‘<path to SP2010 install files>\prerequisiteinstaller.exe’ ‘/unattended’ ‘/ChartControl:<path>\MSChart.exe’ ‘/IDFX:<path>\MicrosoftGenevaFramework.amd64.msi’ ‘/Sync:<path>\Synchronization.msi’ ‘/FilterPack:<path to SP2010 install files>\PrerequisiteInstallerFiles\FilterPack\FilterPack.msi’
& ‘iisreset’

If SQL is installed on another server you have to add the following parameters in the script behind “/unattended”:

‘/SQLNCLi:<path>\sqlncli.msi’ ‘/ADOMD:<path>\SQLSERVER2008_ASADOMD10.msi’

When you do not already have installed the IIS serverrole and/or Application serverrole, the prerequisitesinstaller starts the installation by installing both these roles (see screenshot)
