Hello,I have had a look around the forums for an existing thread on this subject but have not come across one. I have been tasked with writing a Powershell script to automate the configuration of SSRS 2012, I need to automate it as I will need to run the script multiple times on a lot of servers for the foreseeable future. SSRS 2012 will be installed already, but not configured, or configured in native mode with defaults, I will need to change the URL's of the report server and the reports, I will need to change the service account, the execution account, create a folder for the encryption key backup, then actually back the key up. And anything else that can be configured. At the moment I believe I do not have to worry about setting it up Sharepoint mode.At first I thought I'd be looking at functions, but I think I will need to enter the information as parameters for the scripts. So a bit like a stored procedure with a few parameters that follow.So here is the thing, I don't know any Powershell yet, this is my first of many adventures with it, what I need is someone to just tell me what it is I'll need to use, then point me in the direction of a place I can learn what I need to use to get the job done. I have about 2/3 weeks. I am looking at the SQL server Central Stairway series, which I will complete, but I think it will take me too long to get to where I need to be, and I'll run out of time.I have to say I am really looking forward to learning Powershell.Of course, if anyone has any other handy tidbits of advice, I'd love to hear from them.Thank you for any help. Much appreciated.Regards,D.
