[IDEA] Automate the installation of several languages for a Power Platform environment

[rpothin]

Automate the provisioning of a Power Platform environment is one thing, but by default (with the Create Environment action in the Power Platform Build Tools extension for Azure DevOps) you can only specify one language.

It seems that the following solution (information provided by our friend David Rivard) could help us go further on this part:
https://github.com/seanmcne/Microsoft.Xrm.Data.PowerShell

Function to try: 'Enable-CrmLanguagePack'

----EXAMPLE POWERSHELL SCRIPT---------
Param(
[string]$connectionstring
)

Write-Output "Installing Microsoft.Xrm.Data.PowerShell"
Install-Module -Name Microsoft.Xrm.Data.PowerShell -Scope CurrentUser -Force

#Write-Output "Installing Microsoft.CrmSdk.XrmTooling.CrmConnector.PowerShell"
#Install-Package -Name Microsoft.CrmSdk.XrmTooling.CrmConnector.PowerShell -Scope CurrentUser -Force

Write-Output "Connecting to CRM"
$conn = Get-CrmConnection -Verbose -ConnectionString "$($connectionstring)"

Write-Output "Fetching organizationid"
$organizationid = (Get-CrmRecords -EntityLogicalName organization -conn $conn -Fields organizationid).CrmRecords[0].organizationid

Write-Output "Changing setting on organization: $($organizationid)"

Set-CrmRecord -EntityLogicalName organization -conn $conn -Id $organizationid -Fields @{"isautosaveenabled"= $false; "isexternalsearchindexenabled"= $true; "useskypeprotocol"=$false}

$org = Get-CrmRecord -EntityLogicalName organization -conn $conn -Id $organizationid -Fields isautosaveenabled,isexternalsearchindexenabled,useskypeprotocol

@BenediktBergmann if you follow the steps presented in your article, do you think you could store the PowerShell script in a "Scripts" folder at the root of the repository?

Yeah that should definitely be possible
