SQL power shell install script
im facing a relativley complicated situation and i was wondering if somebody has experience with this issue.
i need to deploy SQL server to about 20 servers. and im requested to build a Powershell script that handles all of this at once.
what i need to do is a script that does the following.
1-create a diffrent AD- user name and password for every server.
2-creates a text file for the usernames and passwords that has been created.
3-use these accounts to deploy SQL on every server with the right service accounts that has been created.
its a bit complicated and i really can use pointers or ideas from experts who has done this before.

You can use the ability of using a configuration file to install SQL Server. With that you just need to distribute the configuration file with the SQL Server setup media and then pass the service account as parameter.

the main idea is we have 20 servers and each and every one must have its own AD service account and password.
we need to push a button in RES and get this completed.

actually i think i found it.
i managed to create a powershell script to create usernames and passwords and finally added all the information to a final line in the script that should trigger the installation.
this is basically what it leads to.
\
.\setup.exe /CONFIGURATIONFILE=<config
you think this will do the trick?
