The parameters that are useful for a Report Service Install are given below. SQL FineBuild can install both SQL Reporting Services and PowerBI Report Server. The parameters cover both the basic install and the provisioning that can be performed by SQL FineBuild.

If you are happy that the default value for a given parameter is right for your organisation then you do not need to provide that parameter.

When you run SQL FineBuild you should always provide a /AdminPassword: parameter giving your own password in order to log on automatically after a reboot.
