The "x" in $ModuleName stands for experimental**, which means that these resources will be **fix forward** and monitored by the module owner(s). Please leave comments, feature requests, and bug reports in the Q & A tab for this module. If you would like to modify the **$ModuleName** module, feel free. When modifying, please update the module name, resource friendly name, and MOF class name (instructions below). As specified in the license, you may copy or modify this resource as long as they are used on the Windows Platform. For more information about Windows PowerShell Desired State Configuration, check out the blog posts on the [PowerShell Blog](http://blogs.msdn.com/b/powershell/) ([this](http://blogs.msdn.com/b/powershell/archive/2013/11/01/configuration-in-a-devops-world-windows-powershell-desired-state-configuration.aspx) is a good starting point). There are also great community resources, such as [PowerShell.org](http://powershell.org/wp/tag/dsc/), or [PowerShell Magazine](http://www.powershellmagazine.com/tag/dsc/). For more information on the DSC Resource Kit, checkout [this blog post](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=389546). Installation ------------ To install **$ModuleName** module - If you are using WMF4 / PowerShell Version 4: Unzip the content under the $env:ProgramFiles\WindowsPowerShell\Modules folder - If you are using WMF5 Preview: From an elevated PowerShell session run "Install-Module $ModuleName" To confirm installation - Run Get-DSCResource to see that the resources listed above are among the DSC Resources displayed Requirements ------------ This module requires the latest version of PowerShell (v4.0, which ships in Windows 8.1 or Windows Server 2012R2). To easily use PowerShell 4.0 on older operating systems, install WMF 4.0. Please read the installation instructions that are present on both the download page and the release notes for WMF 4.0. Details ------- **$Resource1** resource has following properties "@ foreach ($res in $P1) {$MD += @" - **$($res.Name)**: $($res.Description) "@ } $MD += @" Renaming Requirements --------------------- When making changes to these resources, we suggest the following practice 1. Update the following names by replacing MSFT with your company/community name and replacing the **"x" with **"c" (short for "Community") or another prefix of your choice - Module name (ex: xModule becomes cModule) - Resource folder (ex: MSFT\_xResource becomes Contoso\_xResource) - Resource Name (ex: MSFT\_xResource becomes Contoso\_cResource) - Resource Friendly Name (ex: xResource becomes cResource) - MOF class name (ex: MSFT\_xResource becomes Contoso\_cResource) - Filename for the <resource\>.schema.mof (ex: MSFT\_xResource.schema.mof becomes Contoso\_cResource.schema.mof) 2. Update module and metadata information in the module manifest 3. Update any configuration that use these resources We reserve resource and module names without prefixes ("x" or "c") for future use (e.g. "MSFT_Resource"). If the next version of Windows Server ships with a "WindowsEventForwarding" resource, we don't want to break any configurations that use any community modifications. Please keep a prefix such as "c" on all community modifications. Versions -------- **0.1.0.0** - Initial release with the following resources "@ foreach ($res in $P1) {$MD += @" - $($res.Name) "@ } $MD += @' Examples -------- **Example 1**: Request and Accept a certificate from an Active Directory Root Certificate Authority. configuration SSL { param ( [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)] [ValidateNotNullorEmpty()] [PsCredential] $Credential ) Import-DscResource -ModuleName xCertificate Node 'localhost' { xCertReq SSLCert { CARootName = 'test-dc01-ca' CAServerFQDN = 'dc01.test.pha' Subject = 'foodomain.test.net' AutoRenew = $true Credential = $Credential } } } $configData = @{ AllNodes = @( @{ NodeName = 'localhost'; PSDscAllowPlainTextPassword = $true } ) } SSL -ConfigurationData $configData -Credential (get-credential) -OutputPath 'c:\SSLConfig' Start-DscConfiguration -Wait -Force -Verbose -Path 'c:\SSLConfig' # Validate results Get-ChildItem Cert:\LocalMachine\My '@ $MD | Out-File "$modules\$modulename\Resources\ReadMe.md" |
