SharePoint Server 2016 Prerequisite Downloader
This script will download all prerequisites that are required for the installation of SharePoint Server 2016 on Windows Server 2012 R2.
It stores prerequisites in two folders:
-
A folder for SharePoint Server 2016's prerequisites.
These prerequisites can be used for offline installation of prerequisistes by PrerequisiteInstaller.exe. Use PREREQUISITEINSTALLER.EXE /? for syntax. See https://technet.microsoft.com/EN-US/library/ff686793(v=office.16).aspx for details
-
A folder for the updates to Windows Server 2012 R2 that must be applied before you can run PrerequisiteInstaller.exe
I will be uploading a script that applies these updates in the correct order. Until then, please note that the Windows Server 2012 R2 updates must be applied in this order: KB2919442 (restart required) clearcompressionflag.exe KB2919355 KB2932046 KB2959977 KB2937592 KB2938439 KB2934018
See https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42334 and https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2919355 for details
To modify this script for your environment:
- Create the folders to which updates and prerequisites will be saved
- Modify the values in the CONFIGURATION BLOCK section
- Run the script in a PowerShell console (or ISE) launched with the RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR option
