FineBuild General Parameters

Previous FineBuild Parameter Syntax	SQL DB Parameters Next

The parameters that do not relate to a specific SQL Server service or to Community Tools are given below. The parameters cover both the basic install and the provisioning that can be performed by SQL FineBuild.

If you are happy that the default value for a given parameter is right for your organisation then you do not need to provide that parameter.

When you run SQL FineBuild you should always provide a /AdminPassword: parameter giving your own password in order to log on automatically after a reboot.

The parameters are divided into the following sections:

• FineBuild Environment Provisioning
