SCOM 2012 - Unattended Installation

In SCOM 2012 - Installation I covered the traditional way to install SCOM using the GUI interface, and this method works just fine if you only have a few machines to build. I have found, however, when doing a larger type of engagement it is helpful to be able to setup and launch unattended installations for SCOM. When you are building half a dozen management servers and a dozen gateway servers and a web/reporting server, having unattended script files makes the install go much faster. So I thought I would go through and iterate what all the switches are as well as provide a few install samples for you.

Please be aware that all of the prerequisites still need to be met before running the silent install.

Switches: 
Below are the switches I have been able to pull together from various sources including the Microsoft Technet article.

Parameter	Value
/silent	Does not display the installation wizard.
/install	Runs an installation. Use /components to indicate specific features to install.
/installpath	Determines the location of the installation directory.
/components	OMServer: Installs the management server. OMConsole: Installs the Operations console. OMWebConsole: Installs the web console. OMReporting: Installs the Reporting server.
/ManagementGroupName:	The name of the management group
/SqlServerInstance:	The SQL server and instance (<server\instance>).
/DatabaseName:	The name of the Operational database.
/DWSqlServerInstance:	The data warehouse server and instance (<server\instance>).
/DWDatabaseName:	The name of the data warehouse database.
/UseLocalSystemActionAccount	Used to specify the Local System for the Management server action account.
/ActionAccountUser:	The domain and user name of the Management server action account. Used if you do not want to specify the Local System
/ActionAccountPassword:	The password for the Management server action account. Used if you do not want to specify the Local System.
/UseLocalSystemDASAccount	Used to specify the Local System for the Data Access service account.
/DASAccountUser:	The domain and user name of the Data Access service account. Used if you do not want to specify the Local System.

/UseMicrosoftUpdate:	0 : Do not opt in to Microsoft Update. 1 : Opt in to Microsoft Update.
/AcceptEndUserLicenseAgreement	Used to specify that you accept the End User License Agreement (EULA). This is only required when you install the first management server in the management group.
/ManagementServer	Used to specify the name of the management server associated with a web console and/or Reporting server that is not installed on a management server.
/WebSiteName:	The name of the website. For default web installation, specify “Default Web Site”. Used for web console installations.
/WebConsoleUseSSL	Specify only if your website has Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) activated. Used for web console installations.
/WebConsoleAuthorizationMode:	Mixed: Used for intranet scenarios. Network: Used for extranet scenarios. Used for web console installations.
/SRSInstance	The reporting server and instance (<server\instance>). Used for Reporting Server installations.
/SendODRReports:	0: Do not opt in to sending operational data reports. 1: opt in to sending operational data reports. Used for Reporting Server Installations.

Samples:
These are a few examples of the unattended install scripts.

To Install Management Servers (PowerShell)

Start-Process -FilePath setup.exe -ArgumentList '/silent /install /components:OMServer,OMConsole /ManagementGroupName:SCOMMgmt /SqlServerInstance:SQLServer\OpsInstance /DatabaseName:OperationsManager /DWSqlServerInstance:SQLServer\DWInstance /DWDatabaseName:OperationsManagerDW /ActionAccountUser:domain\SCOMActionAccount /ActionAccountPassword:password /DASAccountUser:domain\SCOMDataAccessAccount /DASAccountPassword:password /DatareaderUser:domain\SCOMDataReader /DatareaderPassword:password /DataWriterUser:domain\SCOMDataWriter /DataWriterPassword:password /EnableErrorReporting:Always /SendCEIPReports:1 /UseMicrosoftUpdate:1 /AcceptEndUserLicenseAgreement'

To Install IIS (PowerShell)

Import-Module ServerManager Add-WindowsFeature NET-Framework-Core,Web-Static-Content,Web-Default-Doc,Web-Dir-Browsing,Web-Http-Errors,Web-Http-Logging,Web-Request-Monitor,Web-Filtering,Web-Stat-Compression,Web-Mgmt-Console,Web-Metabase,Web-Asp-Net,Web-Windows-Auth,Web-ASP,Web-CGI -Restart

Please review SCOM 2012 - Web & Reporting Services Install for additional IIS configuration
