PAM Update: Added command line Windows PowerShell installation script with silent deployment options

This update added a command line Windows PowerShell installation script with silent deployment options.

Added command line Windows PowerShell installation script

The update added an interactive command line Windows PowerShell installation script.

The script includes command line options to define installation choices. The script also allows silent deployment options combination.

The silent installer option is useful for deployment automation and repeat-ability in large environments, elastic provisioning of new systems in the cloud or closed data-center environments and cleaner separation of system ownership, administration and deployment roles by limiting exposure of sensitive system keys and passwords.
