v4.0.0-preview0001

[v4.0.0-preview0001]

Added

• SharePointDsc
  • Added verbose logging of the test results in the Test method
  • Added function to create SharePointDsc event log and add log entries
  • Added the logging of all test results to the new SharePointDsc event log
  • Added support in several resources for creating/connecting to farm
    and service applications using a (single) SQL-based credential
    instead of the default Windows credentials. Needed when e.g. using
    Azure SQL Managed Instance as SharePoint's database server.
    UseSQLAuthentication and DatabaseCredentials parameters will need
    to be considered.

Changed

The following changes will break v3.x and earlier configurations that use these
resources:

  • Updated resource to allow the configuration of default per service application
    proxy groups instead of per farm

    values for a SharePoint based content source, requiring CrawlVirtualServers or
    CrawlSites
• SPUserProfileServiceApp
  • Changed the MySiteHostLocation parameter to a required parameter
• SPWebAppAuthentication
  • Updated resource to add support for Basic Authentication

Fixed
