Scripting Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Setup for Team Foundation Server

  • Article

Lakhminder Singh from our TFS install and setup team brings us today’s tidbit…

 

Installation and configuration of Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 can be done automatically by the installation of Team Foundation Server 2008. For anyone who wants to script this themselves however, the following could be the answer. This script takes care of creating the WSS content and config DBs in SQL, provisioning of the WSS Central Admin Site, extension of the default web site, and creating the root site collection. It assumes you already have WSS 3.0 installed on the machine.

To use it copy the script into your text editor of choice, edit the variables between the ++++++++++++ delimiters and then save it with a .BAT extension. Run the .BAT from a Command Prompt to complete the operation. A log will be created in c:\WSS3Primary.txt.

Watch out for word-wrap when you copy/paste!!
