How to silently install SQL Server 2016 Standard

Microsoft SQL Server

Microsoft SQL Server is a relational database management system (RDBMS) developed by Microsoft. It is designed to store and retrieve data as requested by other software applications. SQL Server supports various types of data that can be stored in its databases.

Microsoft SQL Server is available in different editions, each catering to specific needs and requirements.

Microsoft SQL Server editions:

SQL Server Express Edition: This is the free, entry-level edition of SQL Server. It has limitations on database size (10 GB per database) and hardware utilization but offers essential database functionality.

SQL Server Developer Edition:

This edition is designed for development and testing purposes. It includes all the features of the Enterprise edition but is licensed for non-production use only.

SQL Server Standard Edition:

This edition is suitable for small to medium-sized businesses. It provides core database management features, business intelligence capabilities, and basic high availability features.

SQL Server Enterprise Edition:

This is the flagship edition of SQL Server, offering comprehensive features and scalability. It includes advanced performance optimization, data warehousing, and high availability features.

SQL Server Web Edition:

This edition is designed for web hosting environments, allowing hosting providers to offer SQL Server databases to their customers at a lower cost.

SQL Server Business Intelligence Edition:

This edition is focused on business intelligence and data analytics. It includes features such as Reporting Services, Analysis Services, and Integration Services.

SQL Server Parallel Data Warehouse (PDW):

PDW is a massively parallel processing (MPP) data warehousing solution. It is designed for handling large-scale data and complex analytics workloads.

It’s important to note that the availability of these editions may vary over time, and Microsoft might introduce new editions or modify existing ones. Additionally, there may be specialized editions for specific use cases or industries, such as SQL Server for Azure or SQL Server for Healthcare.

How to silently install SQL Server 2016 Standard

If you need to quickly install SQL Server with many of the default, the following command can be used. This is useful if you are like me and often have to build up lab environments to test stuff.

.\setup.exe /Q /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS /ACTION=install /FEATURES=SQL /INSTANCENAME=LAB /SQLSVCACCOUNT="Lab\SQLService" /SQLSVCPASSWORD="AppleP13"  /AGTSVCSTARTUPTYPE=Automatic /AGTSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\Network Service" /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="
Windowstechno.local\Domain Administrators"

Instance Name = LAB
Domain = Windowstechno.local
SQL Server = LAB\SQLService
