SharePoint SE Installation Fails within W2022 Server Core

[vherrlein]

Dear,

1. May be because of SE setup.exe now another additional argument must be added "/IAcceptTheLicenseTerms".
   Otherwise the script raise an exception saying the setup installer requiers a reboot.
   

   AutoSPInstaller/SP/Automation/AutoSPInstallerModule.psm1

   Line 996 in b14be32

   Start-Process "$env:SPbits\setup.exe" -ArgumentList "/config `"$configFile`"" -WindowStyle Minimized

2. Because of the way how the server core is working, we cannot create shortcut , the conditional statement at the following line should also check if the current machine is a server core:
   

   AutoSPInstaller/SP/Automation/AutoSPInstallerMain.ps1

   Line 205 in b14be32

   if ($spYear -le 2019) # Note, this check works even if the $spYear is "SE".

In addition the config XML for server core must change as following:

1. Display Level must be none
   <Display Level="none" CompletionNotice="No" AcceptEula="Yes"/>
   

   AutoSPInstaller/SP/Automation/AutoSPInstallerModule.psm1

   Line 316 in b14be32

   <Display Level="basic" CompletionNotice="No" AcceptEula="Yes"/>

2. USINGUIINSTALLMODE must be "0"
   <Setting Id="USINGUIINSTALLMODE" Value="0"/>
   

   AutoSPInstaller/SP/Automation/AutoSPInstallerModule.psm1

   Line 321 in b14be32

   <Setting Id="USINGUIINSTALLMODE" Value="1"/>

Hi @vherrlein and @brianlala ,

I have to install sharepoint SE on Windows Server 2022.

@vherrlein : Does the script work with your last posted modification?

@brianlala : Is it possible to use your script for the installation of SharePoint "SE" now?

Best regards

Yes, SE and Server 2022 are both supported for AutoSPInstaller.

Note though that https://autospinstaller.com has not been updated yet to support building XML configs for the most recent changes, but the scripts themselves will work on the latest version/OS.
