Reviews for this release

     
Just can´t state often enough how helpful this project is. Especially when you have to set-up three farms (Prod/stage/test) in a consistent manner. *tripplelike* v3.86 = still flawless after installing 10+ Servers

My installation worked very well with SP2013 and the creation of most common services like UserProfile, Search and Managed MetaData. I recently added the March CU to my installation and this also worked well despite some minor warnings durin installation. Great stuff this tool! Thanks alot!

Gets you 99% of the way on most installs. You spend a bit more time prepping, but the installs can occur in minutes.

Awesome scripting!

Great tool, thanks for all the work! If you intend to install SP more than once, and most of us unfortunately have to, it is a MUST.

Really Great tool, especially the lates version is outstanding for large farm deployment. Hopefully they will introduce Project Server instalation too. I recomend you use AutoSPInstallerGUI its more handy and can save you from making errors filling in the XML template. http://autospinstallergui.codeplex.com/ Thank You!

Guys, this is one of the best Projects within CodePlex (and I think there are a couple of excellent). Well, I think even five stars aren't enough... Fantastic ! Saves me lot of time and adds really value to the SharePoint Consultant Business. Thanks a lot ! Martin

Works great. Saves every SharePoint admin A LOT of work, especially setting up larger serverfarms. Thanks guys!

You guys have done a fantasic job with this, I can't rate this highly enough. For one particular customer site e.g. heavily regulated and requirying three identical farms this script is invaluable. Well done and thanks.

A real "must-have" for any SharePoint admin. Saves tons of time especially if you are the one who is updating the servers...

This was very helpful and saved me alot of time. Easy to follow and well documented

This is a must-have for any SharePoint administrator. What better way to document your systems while at the same time creating a key element of your DR toolset.

I am very new to SharePoint in general. I was very happy with this utility and my understanding of the installation process was greatly improved from using it. Excellent work I appreciate all the hard work that was put into this utility. I have never installed SharePoint before By the end of the day we had SharePoint installed and did not have to use the MS Wizard. Awesome!

Being new to Sharepoint Server, and only ever having done one installation of Sharepoint Services 2007, I was rather new. I went through the installation of Sharepoint Server 2010 Enterprise (alone!) and found many things that did not get started right. After doing it the hard way, I decided to try AutoSPInstaller - that was the right choice! So I add my five stars to the other 22. Thank you!

Awesome! makes SharePoint installation a walk in the park. great documentation.

Phenomenal stuff. Makes installing SharePoint a pleasure rather than a nightmare. I've developed an Excel map of the Inputs XML file, that allows you to easily switch server names/accounts between Dev, Test, Staging and Prod environments that I'm hoping to be able to share soon. Would be great to be able to give something back to a project that has given us so much! Thanks again.

This kind of thing makes life so much easier.. thanks for your hard work and sharing! I was able to do a full multi server install with SP1 and Aug Cumm so much faster than the M$ way!

Amazing project. Allowed me to setup my production environment over the 2011 holiday season and still have time to spend with my family. I also learned a ton by reviewing the scripts to see how things were working under the covers.

This is such a valuable and awesome project - it allowed me to automate my SharePoint 2010 deployment and opened the door (and saved time) to new development techniques. The consistency attained from having a small number of config files to install SharePoint, Service packs, and OWA is invaluable!
by weberm on Dec 9, 2011 at 6:17 PM
     
This is a great project. I had help me with the installation of DEV TEST and PROD environments and compare with my initial installation for SharePoint 2010 it cut the work in half and most importantly it make it consistent across multiple computers. Thanks for the good work and keep it up you almost got the entire suite now.

You absolute beauty. This is an amazing piece of work;

Has saved me an immense amount of time and allowed me to run several iterations of my development farm deployment seamlessly. Thanks so much!

Awesome release, it took 58 minutes to install prerequisites, SharePoint binaries, SP1 and June 2011 CU on an i5 8GB RAM laptop with 3 vmware workstation VM's. UP Sync also works flawlessly with the newly introduced feature to script the connection creation.

Fantastic project - so simple to use, yet so powerful - I keep finding post-install config tasks that I don't actually need to do, because AutoSPInstaller did them for me!

This is very very good. All the time and effort put into this has saved a lot for everyone else. Thank you.

You should be taking donations. This is has saved me so much time. Just awesomeness in a script!!! Props for using PowerShell too (it still has not caught on full).

Major time saver, although a little bit light on documentation.
by JeroenRitmeijer on Mar 16, 2011 at 11:34 AM
     
Repeatable processes, what a good thing! Very easy to configure, very flexible in what it can do. I especially like that I don't have those nasty GUID named databases.

Very useful! Great source for repeatable deployments

Great help for everybody who has to setup a 2010 server. Still some room for improvement, but nevertheless I wouldn't install SharePoint without it anymore!
by matein78 on Jan 4, 2011 at 1:46 PM
     
Using this script is a no-brainer, it is excellent for both single server and farm builds. Take care and time over the configuration files to ensure everything runs as expected.
by IanWoodgate on Dec 6, 2010 at 8:16 AM
     
Fantastic resource, now we have a scripted that will includes installing SharePoint, installing the prerequisits, setting up the services and web applications including the User Profile Service and Search. All running from a dedicated install account as per recommended best practice. Looking forward to using this script more, adding new features and feeding this back to the site.
