Automating Topology creation with Powershell?

Hi all,

 

currently I'm trying to automate the setup of different products like Exchange or generic Windows Server installations with Powershell and Autounattend files.

 

For Skype for Business 2019 I almost finished to create a template to automatically install SFB and configure it.

However I got stuck with automatically creating a topology. It seems like the only to create such a topology is to use the "Topology Builder", the GUI-based application. In my case, I could only use commandline tools and Powershell scripts, and I did not find a way to create a topology via Powershell or similar.

 

Do you know if there are any cmdlets or commandline tools for this purpose?

 

Thank you very much

    Hi lambda_dev,

    Yes that is one of the problems with toplogy builder and SFB. It not possible to create a topology from powershell. Only way you can achieve is to have an pre build topology and edit the xml file of the topology. 

    Then you import the topology from powershell.

    I hope one day it will be possible to deploy from powershell :smile:
