Description

Hi! Thanks a ton for this module, it is very helpful. I'm trying to install SQL Server 2016 and noticed that the /NPENABLED, /TCPENABLED, /PBDMSSVCPASSWORD, and /PBENGSVCACCOUNT installation flags are not available via the xSQLServerSetup resource, but are valid flags to pass through to the installer. If that wasn't on purpose, I'd like to request that those flags be exposed. Thanks again!
