Doing this on Server Core 2012 in preparation for SCVMM 2012 SP1 (clustered instance), I found that I had to be more specific with the class constructor to ActiveDirectoryAccessRule:

$identity = [System.Security.Principal.IdentityReference] $svcacct.SID

$adRights = [System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectoryRights] "GenericAll"

$type = [System.Security.AccessControl.AccessControlType] "Allow"

$inheritanceType = [System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectorySecurityInheritance] "All"

$ace = New-Object System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectoryAccessRule $identity,$adRights,$type,$inheritanceType

Before this, I couldn't get over the "Cannot find an overload for..." error. I don't know if this is a change in the .NET 4.5 class, or if this is related to .NET classes taking named parameters now.

Hi Michael, thanks for that great script. I would like to initiate this script from my SCCM 2012 Server (during MDT deployment). Is this possible or does the Server need to be a DC in order to have the Active Directory Powershell Module available?

Here is a 1-liner for firewall pre-reqs:

netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="SQL / SQL Replication" dir=in protocol=tcp localport="1433,4022" action=Allow

Celeber, the SCCM PG didn't have time to add this script into their code, because they were too busy making sure the product shipped on time... err, I mean, they were working on an OS prerequsite installer... err, I mean SCCM cmdlets... err, I mean ensuring they wouldn't need a hotfix within 1 week of launch... err I mean...

Nice one! This is the best alternative I saw until now, thanks. But I think: Why the Product Team don't put something like that on Installation Wizard? Then, this is a mistery :)
