You have to update it manually using sp_configure system stored procedure.

what is that mean ? I don't understand, so can't directly export configuration and import it to another SQL server ? so we have copy the setting manually ?

how about I already go through installation wizard as I cant' wait for your answer, anyway to import the setting after the installation wizard ? I am now installing the SP2
The above link is explaining the way to create a configuration file and use it in other installation.

I mean before you reply that I already finish installing the rest ! so I don't use that configuration INI file to install it at all ! but a lot of configuration like tempdb configuration, to the new installed SQL server DB.
is it possible to generate the configuration from existing SQL server to the new installed SQL server which is INSTALLED ?

Yes, you can copy it from here
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Log\<installatio
100 for (SQL2008) and 110 for SQL2012.

Configurationfile.ini can be used only during installation not after installation. This is only for setting up the dataabse default If you are taking about post installation configuration then you have to
1.execute SP_configure and check the value in result .
Or
2. select * from sys.configurations
For eg: You want to enable "allow updates" confoguration option in this case you have to run
Sp_configure "allow updates" , 1
go
Reconfigure
This is the manual process or you can make a script manually and execute it on all instances.

you mean once run this, copy the setting one by one ?

Which kind of configuration do you wish to be set in all SQL Server?
Usually we have a setup configuration that is used to install all SQL Server instances but then each instance has their own resource configuration (CPU, Memory, disk, MAXDOP, ...) depending on the databases that will be stored.

oh, I have gave a task to install SQL server and the configuration will be the same as one of the SQL server, which serve the same purpose.
as I need to export all configuration except server name from this server to all SQL server I am going to install.

"as I need to export all configuration except server name from this server to all SQL server I am going to install."
Please define ALL CONFIGURATION
Please define ALL CONFIGURATION

hi,
I have a plan on DR drill:
https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/29207537/DR-drill-of-SQL-server.html
so is it says that this should works:
https://serverfault.com/questions/988391/copying-sql-server-settings-to-new-server
https://dbatools.io/? any tools from https://dbatools.io/ can help on that?
I see from this page:
https://dbatools.io/configuration/
Some dbatools functionality that has not been talked about much on the blog are our internal configuration options. This functionality was added back in October 2017. Kind of like how in ADS or SSMS, you can go to File -> Preferences -> Settings or Edit -> Preferences to edit advanced preferences and options, you can do something similar in dbatools!
Since dbatools is command-line based, you can view/modify your current options using our various config commands.
