Request for Guidance on Automating Business Central On-Premise Updates via Script

(2) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 33

Hello Team,

 

I am currently working with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central On-Premise, version 26, and I am preparing our environment for upcoming version updates.

 

I would like to request guidance regarding the recommended process and best practices for automating Business Central update procedures using PowerShell or scripted installations. Specifically, I’m interested in understanding how to handle the steps that involve uninstalling the previous version and installing the new one in a controlled, repeatable way.

 

If there is an official repository, documentation, or example scripts that illustrate this automation process, I would greatly appreciate your assistance in sharing those resources.

Kind regards,

 

P.S. I have noticed that the BcContainerHelper module for Docker provides several commands that simplify upgrade and update processes. In this case, I would like to replicate a similar level of automation directly in a Windows environment, without relying on containers.

 

I have the same question (0)

    As far as I know, Microsoft doesn't offer any automated tools.
    However, third-party partners do offer them, which you can check out.
     
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.
