General Info & Known Issues

Brian Lalancette edited this page Jun 17, 2016 · 1 revision

For documentation around usage and parameters, simply run the following in a PowerShell console:

Get-Help AutoSPSourceBuilder.ps1 -Full

Known issues:

  • AutoSPSourceBuilder.ps1 must be run from within an Administrative (elevated) PowerShell prompt; in other words, launch PowerShell by right-clicking and selecting "Run as Administrator"
  • If you specify paths with spaces as parameter values, you must enclose them in quotation marks ("")
  • Cumulative Updates starting with August 2012 (SharePoint 2010) and April 2013 (SharePoint 2013) no longer slipstream properly (using the classic method) due to a change in the way MS is doing their packaging. However, AutoSPSourceBuilder now works around this to effectively re-enable slipstreaming of recent CUs.
  • The August 2014 CU for SharePoint 2013 really messes things up due to the fact that it's not an all-encompassing "Uber" patch; it only contains a subset of fixes. Therefore, you should probably skip it altogether and go straight to the September 2014 CU or later.
