I want to upgrade the edition of my deployed instance (at numerous sites) from Express to the Standard or the Enterprise Edition, but I would like to do it in quiet mode. If I run from the command line without the quiet mode switch like this:
setup.exe INSTANCENAME="MyInstance" SKUUPGRADE=1
then I can upgrade to another edition just fine.
However, if I try to run with the quiet switch (/qb), then no matter what other parameters I have added, still it does not upgrade the edition. Is there a special parm (like ADDLOCAL=???) that needs to be included?
How can I upgrade editions in quiet mode?

Hey, Danny ... great question.

Your command should look like this:
start /wait setup.exe ADDLOCAL=SQL_Engine INSTANCENAME="MyInstance" UPGRADE=SQL_Engine SKUUPGRADE=1 /qb
I haven't seen that "UPGRADE=" parameter in the online help. You might need to include SAPWD="pwd", too.
