I have download the .iso file to install the SQL Server . 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?
Tried this answer on Stackoverflow but didnt get it>
Install SQL Server using PowerShell
AFTER you have mounted the ISO file you can install SQL Server:
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.
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.

Hello we have some SSIS packages with XML file configurations. Basically we configure the database connection, password, etc. to run the packages in different environment (Production vs. Testing). We use a 3rd party software to run our SSIS packages on target SQL servers. The packages run fine on our Testing environment, however fail miserably on Production server. The difference is SQL server on testing is vs. 2016, while on Production only 2012.
There are various error messages on why they fail on production, some of them about "Failed to load at least one of the configuration entries for the package..". And then there are some that cannot login to the database connection provided in the XML files, even though the info is 100% correct.
Does anyone know if XML config file is not supported in SQL 2012?
You really shouldn't be going from a test environment that's a different version than your production environment, it will only lead to more headache in the future.
If you can't upgrade production then I'd suggest getting another test system on the same version as production.
That being said...
The functionality is there in 2012, but the format probably isn't the same.
You need to set the TargetServerVersion to SQL Server 2012 in Visual Studio under Project > Properties and build the project again.

I have two set up files for SQLServer
SQLServer2017-SSEI-Expr 5Mb
SSMS-Setup-ENU 540 Mb
Which file need to be installed.
If the setup file need to be installed then what is the use for the first one?
can someone please advice?
Thanks
SQLServer2017-SSEI-Expr is an installation package for installation of SQL Server Express binaries required to run the database server. You must install it to have your server.
SSMS-Setup-ENU is an installation package for GUI client which allows you to connect to SQL Server database instance and manage it. Although it's not required to be installed on the machine with running SQL Server it's recommended to be installed on administration/developer machine to interact with the database using T-SQL.
I have a working SSIS project locally done by me with SQL Server Data Tools. I found out that the easiest way to have the project deployed in SQL Server is using the option "deploy", available on that IDE. I have done it successfully locally.
My problem is that I am not able to deploy the project directly to the client Server beacuse I have been ordered to give him no more than files, scripts , etc. in order to get the project deployed only by him. He cannot instal SQL Server Data Tools and deploy. I wonder if I can export my already deployed project in my local SQL Server instance and make him to import it?
You can give him the .ispac file from your SSDT project's /bin folder, and he will be able to import it to the SQL Server using SSMS.
I'm working on a project where the client Company has one Enterprise SQL Server license and its box is highly exclusive. I need the Enterprise version because the package uses fuzzy lookups.
So I want to trigger the launch of the package remotely from some VB.Net code. I can't use the DTS Runtime library because they require the calling box to be running the Enterprise version too; besides Enterpise is version 2012 while everywhere else is SQL 2008 R2. I can't install either a web service or a Windows Service on the Enterprise machine to call an SSIS package because the client won't let me. I could create a job but I don't know how to trigger it on-demand.
I've read that Powershell is the answer but the script I've written generates an invoke command that runs DTExec which doesn't work as again I don't have the Enterprise version installed locally. Can anybody point me to the solution? I've looked and looked and all I find is variations on what I've already tried and know won't work.
Cheers
I am working on a dashboard related project using the MS BI stack integrated with SharePoint. I have a configured POC server running on Windows Server 2008 R2, SQL 2012 and SharePoint 2010. I am trying to run one of the MS tutorials that I have already completed on the MS virtual labs in a completely 2008 environment but doing so within my SQL 2012 / SharePoint 2010 environment and this requires I use the .dep file to set the tutorial up. When I first tried to run it I got the windows doesn't know which program to run it with but since the server is in a sandboxed area without net access it cannot search the web for the correct program. In the tutorial it mentioned the file ran via the command prompt so I tried opening it with that and unfortunately nothing happened, but I forgot to untick the always associate box so basically I now have two issues.
First is getting the .dep file back to having no default associated program to run with or finding out what actually is the correct one and the second is to actually get the required files I need to run the .dep file and set-up the environment for the tutorial. Unfortunately MS does not have a nicely detailed list on this.
I have tried using GPMC.MMC to remove the file association but as it is connected to our active directory the default features do not match up with what the technet article states on doing this and I don't want to cause errors on our active directory. Any advice on how to get this working would be appreciated.
You can try downloading the offline training kit.
This training kit should contain a folder with the name "assets". Into this folder you can find an installation of the software "DependencyChecker.msi". Just do this installation. The installation associates the .dep files with the "Dependency Checker Tool"
Secondarily, you can google around to find "How to install the Microsoft Dependency Checker Tool".
In the next link Microsoft talks about the tool.
