New Post: Feature Request: Ability to handle multiple Service Apps of a specific type

Is this still a limitation in AutoSPInstaller? That is, can you only create one of each service apps?

(I'm too lazy to test it manually right now...)

Unless I am doing something wrong, there is still an issue running Autospinstaller in a multi-server environment. I keep getting:
There are other servers specified as farm members in:
C:\Temp\SP\AutoSPInstaller\AutoSPInstallerInput.xml
but <RemoteInstall> is not set to "true" - nothing else to do.
Launching Central Admin...

Were <RemoteInstall> IS set to True.

You can create multiple Search Service Applications, for sure. However I don't think the rest of the service apps support multiple instances via AutoSPInstaller (and AFAIK it's not really recommended either).

Can you post a snippet of your XML (redacted where necessary)?

Thanks

BTW Brian, this was built with the AutoSPInstaller Online.

Hope to hear back from you today.

New Post: Managed Accounts

I am building a test SharePoint 2013 system using AutoSPInstaller. Under Farm>Main, I can create 4 Managed Accounts for SPService, Portal, MySiteHost and SearchService.

Once the farm is built, we get the message "Accounts used by application pools or service identities are in the local machine Administrators group.

Is there a list of other common names that I can create additional Managed Accounts? Such as c2wts, SPUserCodeV4, etc? Are these the common names?

Hi,

Given that this installer must have taken so much time to make, I take off my hat to you, its very well done.

If in the even that I have already installed the binaries on the App as well as the WFE servers, SP Accts created, etc and I'd like to stay away from the GUIDs on the database once the configuration wizards is run, would you be so kind as to provide a section that just takes care of steps from the configuration wizard point of view?

Thanks.

During the autospinstaller the process gets up to the step "creating config database" and halts for over an hour. I checked the SQL server and the config and central admin content database were created soon after it reached this stage.

I pressed ctrl+c to cancel the command, but then the script continued. I haven't seen this happen before.

Have you checked that you hadnt done this > https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/ab36656d-bfbd-4ff1-ac7a-84e2ac975c1d/powershell-hangs?forum=winserverpowershell

I know I have had this happen too many times and never notice until I'm thinking its hung for ages

I have posted a couple of questions under the Support section. I get a response (actually another question) with in 24 hours, respond to that question, then nothing else ever gets posted.

It is really frustrating when you try a tool that appears to do what you want it to do, but run into issues, that no one will respond and help you fix.

I know that you are busy with making the tool better, but users trying it cannot wait weeks for a response if there is a response at all.

Hi bfry24,

which ones of your posts got unanswered? We try our best to answer issues related to "AutoSPInstaller". We do not support AutoSPInstaller GUI, AutoSPInstaller Online or Generic SharePoint issues.

Let me know which one of your posts have not received an answer yet.

Also I am afraid that support here are best effort, there is no SLA and in some circumstances posts may go unanswered.

Further to what Joseph said, it's also really frustrating (although thankfully quite infrequent) when despite all the hours put into perfecting and tuning a FREE tool such as AutoSPInstaller, some still find it appropriate to demand help.

As you can imagine, we are currently quite busy with the development of AutoSPInstaller Online - hence the delay. But also, you're really bashing the whole community here, because a lot of non-official contributors (like Joseph) take time out of their day to respond to discussion items and issues - which I totally appreciate. The tool would not be what it is without its patient, loyal community contributors.

Look Brian, I am not bashing anyone as you put it nor am I DEMANDING Help. In fact I have even found errors with the latest release of AutoSPInstaller Online 3.99, that I have mentioned them on that site and are now corrected. Interesting how quickly I got a response to this though.

My concern is I am asking a question(s) that gets an initial response then nothing. We all appreciate the effort that you guys put into developing a product for all to use. But when users have problems or questions with the product, how can we move forward, when posts go unanswered.

On May 25th, I posted a question that Joseph responded to quickly. He ask for something and I posted right back that same day. Have heard nothing since. This post can be deleted.

On June 9th, I posted a different question that you answered with a question regarding (RemoteInstall). Again, I posted a response to your question, then no reply.

I have a busy schedule just as you do, but when I reply to peoples inquiry on other forums, even if I do not know the answer afterwards, I will tell them. Not just leaving them hanging.

I do not know if others are having the same issues and cannot believe I am the only one with it. I have searched for other issues that came up and found posts here, again unanswered to a resolution or if a new release fix the problem.

Can you please post links to all your current/outstanding issues/questions, so I can find and address them more quickly?

The DB GUIDs aren't actually removed, they're just not allowed to be created in the first place (by specifying the database name we want). From what you've described it sounds like you could safely run the entire script; it will skip the binary installation and just proceed with the PowerShell-based creation of the farm and all DBs etc.
