Automating AEM Installation using Powershell

DESCRIPTION:
Following is a PowerShell script to automate the installation of AEM Author/Publish environments along with NAS storage and installation of necessary packages through a single script and deploy AEM as windows service with LogOn details.

The script is run locally on a VM where the AEM environment is to be created. The script is broken into several sections, which are explained in detail.

SCRIPT:Following are the parameters used

$ErrorActionPreference = "Stop

$WarningPreference = "SilentlyContinue"
$AEMINST = Read-Host "Choose Author/Publish Instance to Setup [Author/Publish]"

$SRCPATH = "C:\Users\SKYDEVOPS\AEM\zinstaller"
$BASEPATH = "C:\Users\SKYDEVOPS\AEM\instances\$AEMINST"
$SERVICEPATH = "$BASEPATH\crx-quickstart\opt\helpers"
$JARFILE = "$SRCPATH\aem-$AEMINST-p$AEMPORT.jar"
$LicensePath = "$SRCPATH\license.properties"

Logic to check if AEM base directory exists, if not create it, then copy the necessary jar and license file and unpack AEM Author/Publish. If AEM Author/Publish directory exists then check for crx-quickstart folder and if its present then terminate the installation

if (!(Test-Path -Path $BASEPATH)) {
Write-Output "$AEMINST Installation Directory Not Found"
Write-Output "Creating Folder at $BASEPATH"
New-Item -ItemType directory -Path $BASEPATH
Copy-Item -Path $LicensePath -Destination $BASEPATH

Set-Location -Path $BASEPATH
Write-Output ""
Write-Output "Unpacking $AEMINST"
Invoke-Expression -Command:"cmd.exe /c $AEMUNPACK"

if ($AEMINST -eq "Author") {
Write-Output "Creating INSTALL Folder"
New-Item -ItemType directory -Path "$BASEPATH\crx-quickstart\install"
Write-Output ""
Write-Output "Copying Configurations to Install Directory"

Copy-Item -Path "$SRCPATH\$FILEDSTORECFG" -Destination "$BASEPATH\crx-quickstart\install"
