SHORT DESCRIPTION
    Generic help about the Role 'sql' in AutomatedLab
 
LONG DESCRIPTION
SQL Server
    The SQL Server role can be used to deploy any SQL Server version starting
    from SQL Server 2008 to 2019 on Windows. The installation can be customized
    like a normal SQL Server setup by using all available parameters or a
    configuration file.
    During the installation, all service accounts that are referenced will be
    created automatically unless they already exist. On Azure, by default a
    managed instance is deployed, unless role parameters are used that would
    prevent this. If for instance different service accounts are configured, a
    normal IaaS VM will be deployed and SQL will be installed from an ISO file
    that needs to be present in your LabSources folder on Azure.
    Starting with SQL Server 2017 the SQL Server Reporting Services need to be
    downloaded. On an online lab host, the package will be downloaded
    automatically. Should you be offline, please store the download as
    `"$LabSources\SoftwarePackages\SQLServerReportingServices.exe"`.
 
    ROLE ASSIGNMENT
    To deploy a default SQL Server, simply assign the role. This will include
    sample databases as well.
 
    Add-LabMachineDefinition -Name SQL01 -Roles SQLServer2017
 
    If you need a little more control, simply use the role properties. The
    following example only installs the engine and tools:
 
    $role = Get-LabMachineRoleDefinition -Role SQLServer2017 -Properties @{Features = 'SQL,Tools'}
     
    Add-LabMachineDefinition -Name SQL01 -Roles $role
 
    ROLE PROPERTIES
    All role properties are entirely optional.
 
    FEATURES
    Features contains a string with the comma-separated features to install, as
    you would supply them on the command line. For example `@{Features =
    'SQL,Tools'}`.
 
    CONFIGURATIONFILE
    Specify the full (local) path to the configuration file that contains your
    setup parameters. You can still override single parameters.
