Automating SQL Buildouts with Hyper-V and SQL Server 2008 R2

SQL Server 2008 R2 introduced support for Sysprep for a SQL Server installation. This is a big leap in manageability of virtualized SQL Server environments. Sysprep allows you to roll out a preconfigured base image for virtual servers that can be easily completed on roll-out of the image to a new virtual server. This session will demonstrate how to implement the new Sysprep functionality in SQL Server 2008 R2 when partnered with Hyper-V virtual server. The session will also explore ways to automate the rollout of the process of completing the SQL Server installation as part of the rollout process.
