Speed up sitecore banner

While I was installing Sitecore XP 10.2 scaled, I faced a few errors which I listed down with the solution. Below are the error and solution:

Error 1: 

[—————————————— IdentityServer_InstallWDP : WebDeploy ———————————]

Install-SitecoreConfiguration : Cannot validate argument on parameter ‘Path’. The running command stopped because the preference variable “ErrorActionPreference” or common parameter is set to Stop: The term ‘C:Program

FilesiisMicrosoft Web Deploy V3msdeploy.exe’ is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

Solution 

Install web deploy tool or check correct version of web deploy

Error 2:

Solution 

I found that my Solr was not on HTTPS so after I make Solr on HTTPS this error is solved.

Error 3: 

XP1Collection_CreateShardApplicationDatabaseServerLoginInvokeSqlCmd : InvokeSqlcmd ——————————————————————————————————]

Install-SitecoreConfiguration : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name ‘Credential’. This error might have been caused by applying the default parameter binding. You can disable the default parameter binding in

$PSDefaultParameterValues by setting $PSDefaultParameterValues[“Disabled”] to be $true, and then trying again. The following default parameters were successfully bound for this cmdlet when the error occurred: -Debug -WarningAction

-Verbose -InformationAction -ErrorAction

This was an issue related to the wrong SQL credential.

Solution 

To get detail about this error, go to xconnect instance and then App_DatajobscontinuousAutomationEngine and run Sitecore.MAEngine.exe. After I run Sitecore.MAEngine.exe, I got below error:

 

2022-09-22 04:06:25 ERR Error initializing XConnect client. System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. —> Sitecore.XConnect.XdbCollectionUnavailableException: An error occurred while sending the request. —> System.InvalidOperationException: The certificate was not found. Store: My, Location: LocalMachine, FindType: FindByThumbprint, FindValue: 69E0FEE6BA49A9248E7CDF7FC8B48C4C5E9856DC, InvalidAllowed: False.

 

To solve this issue I removed certificates named “DO_NOT_TRUST_SitecoreRootCert”, “Sitecore Install Framework” from following two locations.

-Trusted Root Certification Authorities

-Intermediate Certification Authorities

After that I received another error while I ran Sitecore.MAEngine.exe

2022-09-22 05:22:45 ERR Error initializing XConnect client. System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. —> Sitecore.XConnect.XdbCollectionUnavailableException: The HTTP response was not successful: InternalServerError at Sitecore.XConnect.Client.WebApi.ConfigurationWebApiClient.<Refresh>d__7.MoveNext() — End of stack trace from previous location where exception was thrown — at System.Runtime.ExceptionServices.ExceptionDispatchInfo.Throw() at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.HandleNonSuccessAndDebuggerNotification(Task task) at Sitecore.XConnect.Client.XConnectClientConfiguration.<InitializeAsync>d__34.MoveNext() — End of inner exception stack trace — at System.Threading.Tasks.Task.ThrowIfExceptional(Boolean includeTaskCanceledExceptions) at System.Threading.Tasks.Task.Wait(Int32 millisecondsTimeout, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at Sitecore.XConnect.Client.Configuration.XConnect.Extensions.ServiceCollectionExtensions.InitializeXConnectClientConfiguration(IServiceProvider provider, XConnectClientConfiguration config) —> (Inner Exception #0) Sitecore.XConnect.XdbCollectionUnavailableException: The HTTP response was not successful: InternalServerError at Sitecore.XConnect.Client.WebApi.ConfigurationWebApiClient.<Refresh>d__7.MoveNext() — End of stack trace from previous location where exception was thrown — at System.Runtime.ExceptionServices.ExceptionDispatchInfo.Throw() at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.HandleNonSuccessAndDebuggerNotification(Task task) at Sitecore.XConnect.Client.XConnectClientConfiguration.<InitializeAsync>d__34.MoveNext()<—

 

Then I found that .Net 4.7 framework was not turn off so I turned NET 4.7. ‘Turn windows features on and off’ -> ‘Internet information services’ -> ‘World wide web services’ -> ‘Application development features’ -> ‘ASP.NET 4.7’

Error 6:
