Default value is the current computer name. .PARAMETER RestartService Write - Boolean Determines whether the service is automatically restarted when a change to the configuration was needed. .PARAMETER Force Write - Boolean Forces the service account to be updated. Useful for password changes. This will cause Set to be run on each consecutive run. .PARAMETER ServiceAccountName Read - String Returns the service account username for the service. .PARAMETER VersionNumber Write - String The version number for the service type to be managed for the instance that is specified in parameter InstanceName. Mandatory when parameter ServiceType is set to 'IntegrationServices'. .EXAMPLE 1 This example shows how to ensure the SQL Server service on TestServer is running under a user account. Configuration Example { param ( [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)] [System.Management.Automation.PSCredential] $ServiceAccountCredential ) Import-DscResource -ModuleName 'SqlServerDsc' Node localhost { SqlServiceAccount 'SetServiceAccount_User' { ServerName = 'TestServer' InstanceName = 'MSSQLSERVER' ServiceType = 'DatabaseEngine' ServiceAccount = $ServiceAccountCredential RestartService = $true } } } .EXAMPLE 2 This example shows how to ensure the SQL Server service on TestServer\DSC is running under a virtual account. Force will cause this account to be set every time the configuration is evaluated. Specifying RestartService will cause the service to be restarted. Configuration Example { param ( [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)] [System.Management.Automation.PSCredential] $ServiceAccountCredential ) Import-DscResource -ModuleName 'SqlServerDsc' Node localhost { SqlServiceAccount 'SetServiceAccount_User' { ServerName = 'TestServer' InstanceName = 'DSC' ServiceType = 'DatabaseEngine' ServiceAccount = $ServiceAccountCredential RestartService = $true Force = $true } } } |
