 [[-RunbookId] <String>] [-LogPath <String>] [-ShowOriginalProgress] [-OutputCommandOnly] [<CommonParameters>]

A cmdlet that wraps some of the cumbersome work into a streamlined process. The process are detailed in the Microsoft documentation here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/unified-operations/dev-itpro/deployment/install-deployable-package

Invoke-D365SDPInstall -Path "c:\temp\package.zip" -QuickInstallAll

This will install the package contained in the c:\temp\package.zip file using a runbook in memory while executing.

Invoke-D365SDPInstall -Path "c:\temp\" -DevInstall

This will install the extracted package in c:\temp\ using a runbook in memory while executing.

This command is to be used on Microsoft Hosted Tier1 development environment, where you don't have access to the administrator user account on the vm.

Invoke-D365SDPInstall -Path "c:\temp\" -Command SetTopology

PS C:\> Invoke-D365SDPInstall -Path "c:\temp" -Command Generate -RunbookId 'MyRunbook' PS C:\> Invoke-D365SDPInstall -Path "c:\temp" -Command Import -RunbookId 'MyRunbook' PS C:\> Invoke-D365SDPInstall -Path "c:\temp" -Command Execute -RunbookId 'MyRunbook'

Manual operations that first create Topology XML from current environment, then generate runbook with id 'MyRunbook', then import it and finally execute it.

Invoke-D365SDPInstall -Path "c:\temp\" -Command RunAll

Create Topology XML from current environment. Using default runbook id 'Runbook' and run all the operations from generate, to import to execute.

Invoke-D365SDPInstall -Path "c:\temp\" -Command RerunStep -Step 18 -RunbookId 'MyRunbook'

Rerun runbook with id 'MyRunbook' from step 18.

Invoke-D365SDPInstall -Path "c:\temp\" -Command SetStepComplete -Step 24 -RunbookId 'MyRunbook'

Mark step 24 complete in runbook with id 'MyRunbook' and continue the runbook from the next step.
