Sitecore Switch to CD

The Sitecore-PowerShell-Installer script that switches a Sitecore instance to work as a content delivery one. It is used in Octopus as a packaged step, but should be possible to use standalone.

How To Use

1. Download it
2. Run Powershell as Administrator and invoke . .\switch-to-cd.ps1 -deploymentPath C:\inetpub\sc -hostName scinstance.com

The script runs the Sitecore configuration, and aditionally enables the SwitchMasterToWeb.config.example and removes the connection strings not needed in a CD.

It erases all files listed in the file \Webroot\Data\FrontToErase.txt

Enables all configuration files with name *.config.cdonly, by removing the trailing .cdonly

Changes the hostname and targetHostname according to the parameters. See example above and help for the command.

Troubleshooting

• If you see an error in PowerShell complaining that "the execution of scripts is disabled on this system." then you need to invoke Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy unrestricted -Force
• If you receive a security warning after invoking . .\install.ps1 and want to make it go away permanently, then right-click on the install.ps1 file and "Unblock" it.
