This post has been republished via RSS; it originally appeared at: SharePointDsc articles.

Hello all,

 

We just created a new release of SharePointDsc, version 2.1. Over the last weeks we've implemented many bugfixes and a couple of new resources. This release will be part of the DSC Resource Kit which will be released on Feb 7th 2018.

 

Unfortunately we are still working on fixing the User Profile Service resources, which broke with the release of v2.0. Hopefully we will be able to fix this asap. Keep an eye on the issue in our GitHub repo.
