The parameters that do not relate to a specific SQL Server service or to Community Tools are given below. The parameters cover both the basic install and the provisioning that can be performed by SQL FineBuild.

If you are happy that the default value for a given parameter is right for your organisation then you do not need to provide that parameter.
