.NAME
SqlRSSetup .SYNOPSIS The SqlRSSetup DSC resource is used to install, repair, or uninstall SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) or Power BI Report Server (PBIRS). .DESCRIPTION The SqlRSSetup DSC resource is used to install, repair, or uninstall SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) or Power BI Report Server (PBIRS). The built-in parameter PSDscRunAsCredential can be used to run the resource as another user. The resource will then install as that user, otherwise install as SYSTEM. >[!TIP] >To install Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services 2016 (or older), >please use the resource SqlSetup instead. > [!IMPORTANT] > When using the action 'Uninstall' and the target node to begin with > requires a restart, on the first run the Microsoft SQL Server Reporting > Services instance will not be uninstalled, but instead exits with code > 3010 and the node will be, by default, restarted. On the second run after > restart, the Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services instance will be > uninstalled. If the parameter SuppressRestart is used, then the node must > be restarted manually before the Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services > instance will be successfully uninstalled. > > The Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services log will indicate that a > restart is required by outputting; "*No action was taken as a system > reboot is required (0x8007015E)*". The log is default located in the > SSRS folder in %TEMP%, e.g. C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Temp\SSRS. ## Requirements * Target machine must be running Windows Server 2012 or later. * Target machine must have access to the SQL Server Reporting Services or Power BI Report Server installation media. * SYSTEM account or the users passed in the credentials for the PsDscRunAsCredential common parameter must have permissions to connect to the location where the Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services or Microsoft Power BI Report Server media is placed. * The parameter AcceptLicensingTerms must be set to $true. * The parameter InstanceName can only be set to SSRS or PBIRS since there is no way to change the instance name. ## Known issues * When using action 'Uninstall', the same version of the executable as the version of the installed product must be used. If not, sometimes the uninstall is successful (because the executable returns exit code 0) but the instance was not actually removed. All issues are not listed here, see https://github.com/dsccommunity/SqlServerDsc/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+in%3Atitle+SqlRSSetup. .PARAMETER InstanceName Key - System.String Specifies the instance name for the Reporting Services instance. This must be either 'SSRS' for SQL Server Reporting Services or 'PBIRS' for Power BI Report Server. .PARAMETER Action Required - InstallAction Specifies the action to take for the Reporting Services instance. This can be 'Install', 'Repair', or 'Uninstall'. .PARAMETER AcceptLicensingTerms Required - System.Boolean Required parameter for Install and Repair actions to be able to run unattended. By specifying this parameter you acknowledge the acceptance of all license terms and notices for the specified features, the terms and notices that the setup executable normally asks for. .PARAMETER MediaPath Required - System.String Specifies the path where to find the SQL Server installation media. On this path the SQL Server setup executable must be found. .PARAMETER ProductKey Write - System.String Specifies the product key to use for the installation or repair, e.g. '12345-12345-12345-12345-12345'. This parameter is mutually exclusive with the parameter Edition. .PARAMETER EditionUpgrade Write - Nullable[System.Boolean] Upgrades the edition of the installed product. Requires that either the ProductKey or the Edition parameter is also assigned. By default no edition upgrade is performed. .PARAMETER Edition Write - System.String Allowed values: Developer, Evaluation, ExpressAdvanced Specifies a free custom edition to use for the installation or repair. This parameter is mutually exclusive with the parameter ProductKey. .PARAMETER LogPath Write - System.String Specifies the file path where to write the log files, e.g. 'C:\Logs\Install.log'. By default log files are created under %TEMP%. .PARAMETER InstallFolder Write - System.String Specifies the folder where to install the product, e.g. 'C:\Program Files\SSRS'. By default the product is installed under the default installation folder. Reporting Services: %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services Power BI Report Server: %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Power BI Report Server .PARAMETER SuppressRestart Write - Nullable[System.Boolean] Suppresses the restart of the computer after the installation, repair, or uninstallation is finished. By default the computer is restarted after the operation is finished. .PARAMETER ForceRestart Write - Nullable[System.Boolean] Forces a restart of the computer after the installation, repair, or uninstallation is finished, regardless of the operation's outcome. This parameter overrides SuppressRestart. .PARAMETER VersionUpgrade Write - Nullable[System.Boolean] Specifies whether to upgrade the version of the installed product. By default, no version upgrade is performed. If this parameter is specified the installed product version will be compared against the product version of the setup executable. If the installed product version is lower than the product version of the setup executable, the setup will perform an upgrade. If the installed product version is equal to or higher than the product version of the setup executable, no upgrade will be performed. .PARAMETER Timeout Write - Nullable[System.UInt32] Specifies how long to wait for the setup process to finish. Default value is 7200 seconds (2 hours). If the setup process does not finish before this time, an exception will be thrown. .EXAMPLE 1 This example shows how to install a Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Service instance (2017 or newer). Configuration Example { [CmdletBinding()] param ( [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [System.Management.Automation.PSCredential] $SqlInstallCredential ) Import-DscResource -ModuleName 'SqlServerDsc' node localhost { SqlRSSetup 'InstallDefaultInstance' { InstanceName = 'SSRS' Action = 'Install' AcceptLicensingTerms = $true MediaPath = 'C:\InstallMedia\SQLServerReportingServices.exe' Edition = 'Developer' PsDscRunAsCredential = $SqlInstallCredential } } } .EXAMPLE 2 This example shows how to install a Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Service instance (2017 or newer). Configuration Example { [CmdletBinding()] param ( [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [System.Management.Automation.PSCredential] $SqlInstallCredential ) Import-DscResource -ModuleName 'SqlServerDsc' node localhost { SqlRSSetup 'InstallDefaultInstance' { InstanceName = 'SSRS' Action = 'Uninstall' MediaPath = 'C:\InstallMedia\SQLServerReportingServices.exe' # This needs to be set to although it is not used during uninstall. AcceptLicensingTerms = $true PsDscRunAsCredential = $SqlInstallCredential } } } |
