QuestionsHow many products make up System Center 2012 R2?Answer: 1
How long does it take to deploy System Center 2012 R2?Answer: Too long!
How many "screens" does an installation take including prerequisites and SQL Server?Answer: I lost count somewhere around 500
How many post-setup integration tasks are there?Answer: What on earth is post-setup integration?
Who’s afraid of XML?Answer: Don’t worry, there may be some good news towards the end of this session!
Warning!This session involves manually editing XML…
(again, there’s some good news coming!)

Run PDT VMCreator
Install each server OS – VMCreator.ps1OptionalPDT can use existing servers, physical or virtual, any virtualization platformRequirements - 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 joinFull 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
Install each server OS – Variable.xml <VMs> <Count>3</Count> <Default> <Host>localhost</Host> . . . . . . <VMName> <Prefix>Server</Prefix> <Sequence>11</Sequence> </VMName> <Processor>2</Processor> <Memory>2048</Memory> <NetworkAdapter> <OSDisk> <Parent>D:\VHD\WS2012R2.vhdx</Parent> <Type>Differencing</Type> </OSDisk> . . . . . . </Default> <VM Count="1"> <VMName>SQL01</VMName> <Memory>8192</Memory> </VM> </VMs>
VMCreator with Active DirectorySingle pass complete lab setupProcess…First VM created as domain controller for new Active Directory forestMedia copied to DC during virtual hard disk creationAll other VMs are created but wait for Active Directory setup to complete before startingOnce Active Directory setup is complete, DC waits for all other VMs to start and join domainDC automatically runs Installer.ps1
RecommendationInclude minimum of 2 data disks with DC for Active Directory database and log files

The “Knowledge” in PDT – Workflow.xmlInstaller.ps1 knows nothing about deploying System CenterAll “knowledge” is in Workflow.xmlWorkflow.xml defines everything we know about deploying System Center

…and is completely extensible!
ValidationLocalValidates settings in Variable.xml for…
FQDN, dependencies, role combinations, role instance count, required variables, SQL instances, media
ActiveDirectoryValidates against Active Directory for…
Service accounts and passwords, other security principals - groups
RemoteValidates against target servers for…

Component Admin GroupsSystem Center components use different methodsService Manager requires admin group specified at installation timeOrchestrator optionally allows admin group specified at installation timeOperations Manager, Virtual Machine Manager, App Controller use members of local administratorsService Provider Foundation, Data Protection Manager use local administrators groupConfiguration Manager uses account performing the installation
PDT optionally allows you to specify admin groupsService Manager is only required group to be specifiedConfiguration Manager admin group requires Configuration Manager console to be installed
PDT configures consoles to connect to correct server
More Advanced ConfigurationOther components settingsCopy variable from Workflow.xml to Variable.xml
Existing SQLNo validation – installer service account must have permissions
Getting SQL “right”Specify file locations for database files, log files, tempDB
SQL ClustersWindows cluster and storage must be created first
Virtual Machine Manager ClusterWindows cluster must be created firstActive Directory container must be created first, with permission for VMM service account
Scale Out RolesFirst then additional, Concurrent, Sequential
TroubleshootingProgress displaySaved to C:\Temp\Status.txt
Installer.ps1 loggingLogs to C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\InstallerLog file per target server in deploymentUnified log Installer.logNote: Installer logs contain ALL command lines, with passwords removed
Component setup loggingCopied after deployment to C:\Temp\<GUID>\<ServerName>
Restarting deploymentDeployment can be restartedRestarts do not redeploy anything that succeededSome failures are timeouts – restarts usually fix theseBe careful of reboots!
