    Support automated installation and registration of Data Gateway(s).

    Thus could be via a command-line tool or a Powershell Module, but preferably supported using Powershell DSC resource.

    I am blown away that this doesn't already support unattended installation. Wow.

    RE: Data Gateway Automated Installation

    For enterprise systems, the VM for the gateways sometimes are provisioned by automated systems without human manual process, but the gateway needs to be installed by a human due to the UI installer and the login process.

    Can the gateway be installed, login, register, test connection completely by using scripts ?

    RE: Data Gateway Automated Installation

    We need to be able to automate the installation of the gateway software. We have to keep adding more and more gateways and soon it will be too much for our small team to handle.
