Installing and Configuring SharePoint 2010 through Powershell

Installing and Configuring SharePoint 2010 through Powershell Scripting

STEP1: Preparation

Download the SPModule and add the same folder location to the PSModulePath in Environmental variables of respective server as shown below:

#Restart the server before installing SP2010

Restart-Computer -force

STEP2: Installation. I have named this file as SP1.PS1.

====================================
SP1.ps1 [ PowerShell -File "SP1.ps1" ]

====================================

#Run the below script to install the pre-requisite and SharePoint binaries

Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Force

Import-Module SPModule.misc

Import-Module SPModule.setup

Install-SharePoint -SetupExePath "C:SP2010Extractsetup.exe"

#Above is for the trail version so for license version PIDKey needs to be included as bellow

#Install-SharePoint -SetupExePath "C:SP2010Extractsetup.exe" -PIDKey "***************************************"

#Check if the installation is done properly by checking the services in service.msc

If (((Get-Service | Where {$_.Name -eq "SPAdminV4"}) -ne $null) -and ((Get-Service | Where {$_.Name -eq "SPTimerV4"}) -ne $null) -and ((Get-Service | Where {$_.Name -eq "FIMSynchronizationService"}) -ne $null))

{

Write-Host -foregroundColor Yellow "SharePoint 2010 installed successfully… `nNow the setup will configure the farm."

PowerShell -File "SP2.ps1"

}

Else

{

Write-Warning "SharePoint 2010 installation failed, please check the logs for the error."

}

STEP2: Configuration. I have named this file as SP2.PS1.

====================================
SP2.ps1
