    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.

    'we need this badly as well, also please simplify the config files so that we can render configs easily (rather than do line regexp substitution).

    1. install the software using msiexec or other dotnet automation tool

    2. break out the myriad of configuration options into one file like 'config.json' and have it be the main method of overriding simple values like:
    - cluster name
    - gateway node name
    - login username/password (how to encrypt pass)
    - use ssl
    - log verbosity
    - basic performance tweaks like mentioned in https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-gateway-performance-monitoring

    This is essential for companies operating infrastructure as code

    This would also make support for installation on Server Core possible. Currently this fails as registration (sign in) requires IEFRAME.DLL.

    RE: Data Gateway Automated Installation

    Allow Automation for ON-premises Gateway installation.
    We have 20 Servers with Enterprise Gateways install on them.
    As new versions come out, we want to update the Gateway on all servers. However, we can not use a silent install since it is non-existing feature. We have to go server-by-server and install the gateway and then configure it. Please allow silent install just like SQL Server
