Hi,

what are switches to install SQBserversetup in full silent? (with install directory, name of instance, user...

Thanks

SQBServerSetup /verysilent /sqbminimal /i <instance name> /svcuser <user name> /svcpw <password> /sqluser <user name> /sqlpw <password> /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES

svcuser = startup user account for service app.
sqluser = SQL authentication user for service app

This will install the server components into the Program Files\Red Gate\SQL Backup\<instance name> folder.

If you run SQBServerSetup without the /sqbminimal switch, the server components will be installed into a subfolder under the current folder where SQBServerSetup resides.

There isn't a switch to explicitly name the installation folder.

And how can I define Built-in account for SQLBackup Agent service

E.g. sqbserversetup /verysilent /sqbminimal /suppressmsgboxes /svcuser .\LocalSystem

and windows authentification for sql?

Omit the sqluser and sqlpw switches.

Hi,

If there is only one instance of SQL server running, will I need to still provide the instance name? Can I omit the switch and will it still install successfully?

Thanks!

Yes, you need to provide the instance name if you are installing to a named instance. If it is the default instance, you can omit the /i parameter and value.
