Data Gateway Automated Installation

[craig16]

Support automated installation and registration of Data Gateway(s). Thus could be via a command-line tool or a Powershell Module, but preferably supported using Powershell DSC resource.

For enterprise systems, the VM for the gateways sometimes are provisioned by automated systems without human manual process, but the gateway needs to be installed by a human due to the UI installer and the login process. Can the gateway be installed, login, register, test connection completely by using scripts ?

Automation is key to operational excellence, today.

I am blown away that this doesn't already support unattended installation. Wow.

Yes, we need to be able to deploy and manage these VMs through automation.

Is unbelievable this is not supported, it is a must have for any enterprise tool nowadays everything is managed as code

Really disappointing that this functionality was not present from the start and more so that now nearly 6 years later MS still haven't introduced what most other vendors would deem a fundamental requirement.

Given PowerShell was first released in 2006 it's very strange that MS haven't utilised it here but the absence of any basic automation/silent install and configuration capability really restricts the gateways usability in modern cloud server environments.

Please can this be looked at again
