Just a warning, there’s a FEW things you can’t install w/ PowerShell, so make sure that you still do these steps manually:

  • Use ADSI Edit to create a Systems\Systems Management Container
  • Give your SCCM Primary site computer account ‘Full Control’ permissions of this and all descendant objects

Beyond that, this PowerShell script will install all of the Non-SQL Pre-requisites for you.

To use, first, download the Windows 10 ADK from this  link.  Place it in a folder called _Software\ADK at the root of a drive.

Next, download the x86 and x64 bit MS XML Parsers, available, uh in the links to the left. Put these both within the same _Software folder.

Finally, insert a Windows Server install disk (for your appropriate OS Version) to the machine.

Then, run this code to install all Prerequisites in record time!

 $drives = Get-PSDrive -PSProvider FileSystem $PrereqDrive = $drives.Root | ? ({Test-Path $\_\\\_Software}) if (test-path "$($PrereqDrive)\_Software"){ $PreReqSrc = "$($PrereqDrive)\_Software" Write-Host "SCCM Prereq source found at $PreReqSrc" } else { Write-Warning "Couldn't find a source folder called '\_Software' at the root of any drive" }

$ServerISODrive = $drives.Root | ? ({Test-Path $\_\\Sources}) $ServerSXSSrc = "$($ServerISODrive)Sources"

Write-Host "Installing MSXML Prereqs..." try { Msiexec /i $PreReqSrc\\msxml6.msi /passive /l\*+ %windir%\\temp\\SCCM\_MSXML6.log msiexec /i $PreReqSrc\\msxml6\_x64.msi /passive /l\*+ %windir%\\temp\\SCCM\_MSXML6\_64.log } catch { Write-Warning "Ensure that MSXML files were placed within $PreReqSrc" }
