PDT a.k. powershell deployment toolkit

http://aka.ms/pdt http://aka.ms/pdtguide

PDT prerequisites

• Windows Server 2012• Windows Server 2012 R2• System Center 2012• System Center 2012 R2• WebPI, WinZip or 7-Zip

The Tool

• Source• Installer.ps1• Variable.xml• Workflow.xml• Downloader.ps1• VMCreator.ps1• Deploy.ps1• Customer Folders and Scripts

PDT workflow.xmlContains all the logic for installing;

- Windows Server

- System Center

- Windows Azure Pack

Installer.ps1 knows nothing about deploying System CenterAll “knowledge” is in Workflow.xmlWorkflow.xml defines everything we know about deploying System Center

3) .\installer.ps1

PDT downloader.ps1

Remember!!! Downloader does NOT download:• Windows Server 2012• Windows Server 2012 R2• System Center 2012• System Center 2012 R2• WebPI, WinZip or 7-Zip

Manual download or use your install media an place in the installer dir (as defined in variable.xml)

http://blogs.technet.com/b/privatecloud/archive/2013/10/17/deployment-pdt-update-for-system-center-2012-r2-now-available.aspx

Download all the bits – Downloader.ps1Downloads…System Center Components

Prerequisites e.g. -

SQL Native Client, Report Viewer, WSUS

SQL Server 2012 and SP1

SQL Server 2008 R2 and SP2

SharePoint 2010 Foundation

Windows Server 2012

Management Packs

Integration Packs

Extracts…ISO – Windows Server 2012

RAR – System Center 2012 Components

Zip - SPModule

Runs…ADKSetup.exe download

Configuration Manager setupdl.exe download

Self-extracting exe

Slipstreams…SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2

Requires…Windows Server 2012/Windows 8

WinRAR

Option…Downloader.ps1 -DeploymentOnly

Restartable!

PDT downloader.ps1

PDT vmcreator

Install each server OS – VMCreator.ps1

OptionalPDT can use existing servers, physical or virtual, any virtualization platform

Requirements - Windows Server, Domain joined, WinRM enabled, administrator permissions

Specify countHow many servers are in your deployment?

Specify defaultsHyper-V host, VM name, processor, memory, network adapter, OS disk, data disks, domain to join

Full example in default Variable.xml in PDT

Specify overrides per VM, if desired e.g. Different Hyper-V hosts, VM name, memory, OS disk

VMCreator.ps1 will validate required resources for VM creationCreates VM, joins domain, enables WinRM, add installer service account to administrators

PDT vmcreator

Runs first on the host in the powershell script.

When scripts are finish then the process still runs on the domain controller.

Look via connect in the Hyper-V host. Wait for scripts to finish before proceding with next steps!!!!!! (IMPORTANT: If the Hyper-V host is not part of the domain, you’ll see some errors. At that point cancel, attached the media with the Installer/Downloader bits and rerun Installer.ps1)

Notable missing integration…Orchestrator Integration Pack Registration, Deployment and Configuration

Component Admin Groups

System Center components use different methodsService Manager requires admin group specified at installation time

Orchestrator optionally allows admin group specified at installation time

Operations Manager, Virtual Machine Manager, App Controller use members of local administrators

Service Provider Foundation, Data Protection Manager use local administrators group

Configuration Manager uses account performing the installation

PDT optionally allows you to specify admin groupsService Manager is only required group to be specified

Configuration Manager admin group requires Configuration Manager console to be installed

PDT configures consoles to connect to correct server

Hands-on

Cloud OSmodule 4 Let’s BUILD!

Alexandre Verkinderen

Do you have…?• downloaded the BC1D.zip• Unpacked it to C:\Installer• Created a Volume V: for the VMs?

Have you…• Enabled Hyper-V?• Create the Virtual Switch (VMSwitch)• Set PowerShell Execution Policy

OPTIONAL!

EDIT VARIABLE.XML AND CUSTOMIZE- Remove SC Components- Change Role Location- Modify Domain Name, etc

Note: if you are going to edit Variable.xml, we suggest using PowerShell ISE or Visual Studio

If YES then let’s go!

• Open a PowerShell with Administrative Rights• Navigate to C:\Installer• .\Deploy.ps1• Keep an eye on the console. Any errors?

Download the Build Cloud OS in ONE Day - Deployment Guide and follow it

Wait…

Wait a bit more…

Ah! DC01 is Running!

• Open the console• Wait until is done• Any errors? If so you may need to attach the Installer/Downloader

Media and rerun Installer.ps1 (it was automatically launched by vmcreator.ps1)

• If you see “Windows License Expired” on the bottom right of the Desktop:• Open Admin CMD, run: “SLMGR /rearm” and REBOOT• Do it for all created VMs• You can issue slmgr.vbs at target a remote server:

• slmgr.vbs <TargetComputerName> /rearm• Shutdown /m <TargetComputerName> /r /t 0

Deployment ongoing now. This will take a while…

• Open the console• Wait until is done• Any errors? If so you may need to attach

the Installer/Downloader Media and rerun Installar.ps1 (it was automatically launched by vmcreator.ps1)

Done?

Use the Build Cloud OS in ONE Day - Deployment Guide and proceed with the excercises

Deployment Done
