.PARAMETER Priority
    Required - System.UInt16
    Specifies the priority for this MX record among other MX records that belong to the same email domain, where a lower value has a higher priority. (Mandatory Parameter)
 
.PARAMETER recordName
    Write - System.String
 
.EXAMPLE 1
 
This configuration will ensure a DNS MX record exists when only the mandatory properties are specified.
 
Configuration DnsRecordMx_Mandatory_config
{
    Import-DscResource -ModuleName 'DnsServerDsc'
 
    Node localhost
    {
        DnsRecordMx 'TestRecord'
        {
            ZoneName = 'contoso.com'
            EmailDomain = 'contoso.com'
            MailExchange = 'mailserver1.contoso.com'
            Priority = 20
            Ensure = 'Present'
        }
    }
}
 
.EXAMPLE 2
 
This configuration will ensure a DNS MX record exists when all properties are specified.
 
Configuration DnsRecordMx_Full_config
{
    Import-DscResource -ModuleName 'DnsServerDsc'
 
    Node localhost
    {
        DnsRecordMx 'TestRecord'
        {
            ZoneName = 'contoso.com'
            EmailDomain = 'contoso.com'
            MailExchange = 'mailserver1.contoso.com'
            Priority = 20
            TimeToLive = '01:00:00'
            DnsServer = 'localhost'
            Ensure = 'Present'
        }
    }
}
 
.EXAMPLE 3
 
This configuration will ensure a DNS MX record does not exist when mandatory properties are specified.
 
Note that the 'Priority' property value will be ignored when determining whether the record is to be removed.
 
Configuration DnsRecordMx_Remove_config
{
    Import-DscResource -ModuleName 'DnsServerDsc'
 
    Node localhost
    {
        DnsRecordMx 'TestRecord'
        {
            ZoneName = 'contoso.com'
            EmailDomain = 'contoso.com'
            MailExchange = 'mailserver1.contoso.com'
            Priority = 20
            Ensure = 'Absent'
        }
    }
