##Project Summary Building lab environments is a time-consuming task. First you are creating your topology using the SfB Topology Builder. Then you need to create the virtual machines, configure the networking, setup Active Directory, a PKI, IIS, Office Online Server and SQL Server. This takes a lot of time and it is easy to forget a configuration item or click the wrong button.

SfBAutomatedLab does it all for you. It reads the topology file (tbxml) created by the Topology Builder and creates all the machines defined there. It also sets up Active Directory with an Enterprise PKI and SQL Server, all according to what is defined in the topology file. After that, the SfB components are installed on the edge and frontend servers.

1. Installation of SfbAutomatedLab

2. Getting Ready for the Automated Deployment
