How can I install System Center Configuration Manager (Current Branch) version 1802 on Windows Server 2016 with SQL Server 2017 - Part 3

[jim.b]

Great stuff but I find my self unsure of the result. End of Part3 last step have:

Looking for ConfigMgr media in 'C:\Source\SCCM1802'...done!
skipping schema extension
Checking for'C:\Source\SCCM_Prerequisites' folder...done!
The folder 'C:\Source' already exists, will not recreate it.
The file 'C:\Source\ConfigMgrAutoSave.ini' already exists, removing...
Creating 'C:\Source\ConfigMgrAutoSave.ini'...done!
installing SCCM (please wait)...done!
Exiting script, goodbye.

Did it install?  Looks like it and it was quick...  What process of file presence help me know as I'm no SCCM user...

I do have suspicions about the files in C:\Source\SCCM1802 as looks like what is in C:\Source\SCCM_rerequisites.

Thoughts?

I've merged your many good ps1 scripts in to just a few. Nice. Just not sure of result.

error is a pop-up window that it "could not connect or execute SQL query"

manually my user on server can connect with windows credentials via SSMS and has sys admin priv.

Don't know what it is using to connect. Stuck.

I should mention I started the install process using a vanilla 2016 server for ADDS and a vm with pre-installed sql2014 for the CM server

Further, logged in as the administrator on the CM server (which hosts the sql just for this sccm,) I can issue "sqlcmd" and exec commands w/o error.

Puzzled

[anyweb]

can you do a teamviewer session so i can take a look ?

[jim.b]

Yes! That would be mega helpful.  I'm in California (PST). I can make time to work with yoo as this is a priority - LMK times that work.
