Client Tools Only Build - SQL-FineBuild/Common GitHub Wiki

Previous Workstation Build	License and Acknowledgements Next

This is the normal build for DBA Administration machines and any machines that require client tools only.

This build will contain the following components:

Client Tools
Service Pack and/or Cumulative Update
Tools-based Community Components

The SQLFineClient File

The SQLFineClient.bat file is used to install the SQL Server client tools to an Administration Server, or to any other server that requires only the client tools. This file is not intended for use with Express Edition.

Preparation

Prepare the SQL FineBuild install media as described in SQL Media Preparation.
Take a copy of the SQLFineClient.bat file and change any details required for your site. The main options for this file are described below.
Run the FineBuild install by using your copy of SQLFineClient.bat. If .Net 3.5 SP1 has not already been installed on your server, a reboot may be performed after this has been installed. FineBuild will continue automatically after a reboot.

Syntax and Options

See FineBuild Parameter Syntax for details of the colours used in the code example and other syntax details.
