Happy 10th anniversary to the DSC Resource Kit! Wave 10 is now available on TechNet<\/a> and in the PowerShell Gallery. <\/p>\n

We have a few new resources this month and a number of significant bug fixes made to existing resources that are critical in our march towards stability and robustness. All in all, there are 8 new DSC resources across 5 modules and bug fixes made across 10 modules.<\/p>\n

This means we’re now up to a total of 180 resources, enabling declarative deployment, configuration, and management of Active Directory, Azure VMs, Certificate Services, SQL Server, disk drives, DNS, file shares, Failover clusters, Internet Explorer, Exchange, web applications, Hyper-V, networking, Just Enough Administration, DNS, Remote Desktop Services, the System Center products (SCDPM, SCOM, SCSMA, SCSPF, SCSR, SCVMM), and more, all using DSC. As our first release of 2015, we’re excited for what’s to come!<\/p>\n

Questions, Comments?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you’re looking into using PowerShell DSC, but are blocked by issues with current resources, or a lack of resources, let us know in the comments or the TechNet QA Section.<\/p>\n
