xDSCDomainjoin

Overview

The microsoft module has a mandatory parameter for the machine name. In my particular scenario I am already setting the machine name via vClouds sysprep and DSC doesn't neccessarialy need to know or does know the machine name when it's deploying config to the node so I basically just need to be able to switch the machine from a workgroup in to the domain.

This is basically a stripped down version of xComputer from xComputerManagement (https://github.com/PowerShell/xComputerManagement) that doesn't contain the majority of the logic surrounding the machine name.

Parameters

Domain

• Specify the domain you want to join

Note: This is a required parameter

Credentials

• Specify the credentials that have permissions to join the domain

Note: This is a required parameter

JoinOU

• Optional paremeter to specify a specific OU to join the node to

Example

xDSCDomainjoin JoinDomain
{
Domain = $Domain 
Credential = $Credential  # Credential to join to domain
JoinOU = "CN=Computers,DC=someplace,DC=qld,DC=gov,DC=au"
}
