Install SQL Server Silently from Command Line

Here we use SQL Server 2017 Latest patch as an example. Let’s assume we downloaded the file and named it to :

SQLServer2017-KB4583457-x64 — GDR

REM starting SQL Server cu install…………
“C:\DBA\SQLServer2017-KB4583457-x64 — GDR.exe” /Quiet /IAcceptSQLServerLicenseTerms /Action=Patch /AllInstances

REM SQL SERVER CU install complete

REM optional STEP to reboot your machine
REM Reboot the host before kicking off the install
shutdown.exe /r /f /c “DBA scheduled reboot” /t 1

Sometimes the official document is too long to read. I hope this simple script be helpful to you!
