Install Prerequisites for SCOM 2012 with PowerShell

For the past 4 days I’ve been diving myself into System Center 2012 Operations Manager. I had the opportunity to participate in a course held at CornerStone here in Stockholm. During my first day I learned how to install SCOM 2012 and it’s prerequisites. During the day I had some extra time to quickly ease up the prerequisite installation part by writing a short PowerShell script, and I figured that I’d share it here on the blog.

Running the script

Basically you’ll run this on either your Management, Web Console or Operations Console server to-be, perhaps you want to install everything on a single box. The script handles that too. It’s important to note that the script will only install the prerequisites required for SCOM 2012 SP1 running on Windows Server 2012. When the script is done installing all prerequisites, it will then restart.
First you have to save the script below to a file, e.g. InstallSCOMPrereq.ps1. Then open a PowerShell prompt and browse your way to where you stored the file. Type the following:

To install prerequisites for a Management Server:

.\InstallSCOMPrereq.ps1 -Role ManagementServer

To install prerequisites for an Operations Console:

.\InstallSCOMPrereq.ps1 -Role OperationsConsole

 To install prerequisites for a Web Console:

.\InstallSCOMPrereq.ps1 -Role WebConsole

 To install prerequisites for all SCOM roles:

.\InstallSCOMPrereq.ps1 -Role AllRoles
