Release Notes

## [10.0.0-preview0004] - 2024-11-15

### Added

- SystemProtection
 - New resource to configure System Protection settings (formerly xWindowsRestore) - Fixes [Issue #364](https://github.com/dsccommunity/ComputerManagementDsc/issues/364).
- SystemRestorePoint
 - New resource to create and delete restore points (formerly xSystemRestorePoint) - Fixes [Issue #364](https://github.com/dsccommunity/ComputerManagementDsc/issues/364).
- ScheduledTask
 - Added support for ScheduleType 'OnIdle', 'AtCreation', 'OnSessionState'.
   Fixes [Issue #282](https://github.com/dsccommunity/ComputerManagementDsc/issues/282).
 - Added support for StateChange to allow specifying which session state changes should
   trigger the task (with ScheduleType = OnSessionState).
 - Added support for StopAtDurationEnd permitting control over the 'Stop all running tasks
   at the end of the repetition duration' feature.
   Fixes [Issue #168](https://github.com/dsccommunity/ComputerManagementDsc/issues/168).
 - Added support for TriggerExecutionTimeLimit permitting control over per-trigger 'Stop task
   if it runs longer than...' feature.

### Fixed

- BREAKING CHANGE: ScheduledTask
 - Fixed User parameter to correctly return the user that triggers an AtLogon or OnSessionState
   Schedule Type, instead of the current value of ExecuteAsCredential. This parameter
   is only valid when using the AtLogon and OnSessionState Schedule Types.
 - Fixed User parameter to permit use even if LogonType = Group.
 - Updated RandomDelay logic from a blacklist to a whitelist.
 - Updated Delay parameter logic to reflect other TimeSpan based values.
 - Updated unit tests to use Should -Invoke for Pester 5 compatibility.
 - Updated various parameters with requirements in documentation.
- `VirtualMemory` fix incorrect variable name
- `SmbServerConfiguration` remove errant argument
- Update all calls to edit the registry so that the value Type is explicitly set.
 Fixes [Issue #433](https://github.com/dsccommunity/ComputerManagementDsc/issues/433).

### Changed

- BREAKING CHANGE: ScheduledTask
 - Allow StartTime to be used to set the 'Activate' setting when adding ScheduleType triggers
   other than 'Once', 'Daily' and 'Weekly'.
 - Updated Delay parameter to support ScheduleType AtLogon, AtStartup, AtCreation, OnSessionState.
   Fixes [Issue #345](https://github.com/dsccommunity/ComputerManagementDsc/issues/345).
 - Updated User parameter for use with ScheduleType OnSessionState in addition to AtLogon.
 - Updated integration tests to ensure resource and configuration names are matching.
- Converted tests to Pester 5
- Rename Delete-ADSIObject to Delete-ADSIObject to satisfy HQRM

### Removed

- Removed `Get-InvalidOperationRecord` to use version provided by `DscResource.Test`
