.NAME
ADServicePrincipalName .DESCRIPTION The ADServicePrincipalName DSC resource will manage service principal names. A service principal name (SPN) is a unique identifier of a service instance. SPNs are used by Kerberos authentication to associate a service instance with a service logon account. This allows a client application to request that the service authenticate an account even if the client does not have the account name. ## Requirements * Target machine must be running Windows Server 2008 R2 or later. .PARAMETER Ensure Write - String Allowed values: Present, Absent Specifies if the service principal name should be added or remove. Default value is 'Present'. .PARAMETER ServicePrincipalName Key - String The full SPN to add or remove, e.g. HOST/LON-DC1. .PARAMETER Account Write - String The user or computer account to add or remove the SPN, e.b. User1 or LON-DC1$. Default value is ''. If Ensure is set to Present, a value must be specified. .EXAMPLE 1 This configuration will add a Service Principal Name to a user account. Configuration ADServicePrincipalName_AddUserServicePrincipalName_Config { Import-DscResource -Module ActiveDirectoryDsc Node localhost { ADServicePrincipalName 'SQL01Svc' { ServicePrincipalName = 'MSSQLSvc/sql01.contoso.com:1433' Account = 'SQL01Svc' } } } .EXAMPLE 2 This configuration will add a Service Principal Name to a computer account.
