SharePoint 2010 Deployment Using Automated Processes

Ever wonder how Microsoft configures and deploys SharePoint? Well, Microsoft IT recently completed its migration to SharePoint 2010. When sensible, the team automated its process to improve efficiency. Scripting is shared, including remote installs using Power Shell. Check out the following video by Nate Bruneau and Sam Crewdson which outlines this process. You can download the scripts used in the presentation from https://spauto.codeplex.com.
