How To Create SQL Server 2019 VM Template

To create a SQL Server 2019 template virtual machine, a Windows Server 2019 VM was installed and configured with updates and VMWare tools. SQL Server 2019 was then installed through running Setup.exe from the mounted ISO and selecting options like the instance name, service accounts, and authentication mode. Once SQL Server setup was complete, the VM was converted to a template so it could be deployed on demand to provision new VMs with a preconfigured SQL Server 2019 environment ready to use.

How to create SQL Server 2019 Template

In this post, I am going to create SQL Server 2019 Template virtual machine to provision on the fly when
required. By having this we can deploy SQL Server fast and efficiently.

For this exercise, I created a VM and installed Windows Server 2019. After that installed all the updates
and restarted the system. Then installed VMWare tools as well. Now we have the Windows Operating
system ready for SQL install. This VM is not joined to the domain.

Mount SQL 2019 ISO – Run Setup.exe – Click Advanced and follow the instruction.
Once the prepare image is complete and you have configured the virtual machine as per the
requirements convert the virtual machine to a template.

When you are ready to deploy or provision a VM on the fly use this template to deploy a VM. We need
to complete SQL Server 2019 configuration. For this mount the ISO and run setup.exe. Click Advanced

And continue with the setup process where you will enter product key, select the instance (MYSQL),
specify service accounts, collation configuration, authentication mode to complete the setup. When the
image process is complete click close and you have a fully running SQL Server 2019 ready to use.

Thanks
