.NAME SPSearchServiceApp # Description **Type:** Distributed **Requires CredSSP:** No This resource is responsible for provisioning the search service application. The current version lets you specify the database name and server, as well as the application pool. If the application pool is changed the DSC resource will set it back as per what is set in the resource. The database name parameter is used as the prefix for all search databases (so you will end up with one for the admin database which matches the name, and then "_analyticsreportingstore", "_crawlstore" and "_linkstore" databases as well). The default value for the Ensure parameter is Present. When not specifying this parameter, the service application is provisioned. NOTE: The WindowsServiceAccount parameter is deprecated and no longer does anything. The functionality for changing this account has been moved to SPSearchServiceSettings. .PARAMETER Name Key - string The name of the search service application .PARAMETER ProxyName Write - string The proxy name, if not specified will be /Name of service app/ Proxy .PARAMETER ApplicationPool Required - string The application pool that it should run in .PARAMETER SearchCenterUrl Write - string The URL of the enterprise search center site collection .PARAMETER DatabaseName Write - string The name of the database (noting that some search databases will use this as a prefix) .PARAMETER DatabaseServer Write - string The server that host the databases for this service application .PARAMETER DefaultContentAccessAccount Write - String The default content access account for this search service app .PARAMETER CloudIndex Write - boolean Should this search service application be a cloud based service app .PARAMETER AlertsEnabled Write - boolean Should alerts be enabled for this search service application .PARAMETER Ensure Write - string Allowed values: Present, Absent Present if the service app should exist, absent if it should not .PARAMETER WindowsServiceAccount Write - string This setting is moved to SPSearchServiceSettings and deprecated here. .PARAMETER InstallAccount Write - String POWERSHELL 4 ONLY: The account to run this resource as, use PsDscRunAsCredential if using PowerShell 5 .EXAMPLE 1 This example creates a new search service app in the local farm Configuration Example { param( [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)] [PSCredential] $SetupAccount ) Import-DscResource -ModuleName SharePointDsc node localhost { SPSearchServiceApp SearchServiceApp { Name = "Search Service Application" DatabaseName = "SP_Search" ApplicationPool = "SharePoint Service Applications" PsDscRunAsCredential = $SetupAccount } } } .EXAMPLE 2 This example removes a search service app in the local farm. The ApplicationPool parameter is still required but is not actually used, so its value does not matter. Configuration Example { param( [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)] [PSCredential] $SetupAccount ) Import-DscResource -ModuleName SharePointDsc node localhost { SPSearchServiceApp SearchServiceApp { Name = "Search Service Application" Ensure = "Absent" ApplicationPool = "n/a" PsDscRunAsCredential = $SetupAccount } } } |
