WacClusterConnection DSC Resource

The WacClusterConnection DSC resource can be used to add Windows Failover Cluster for management in WAC. This extension does not support removing failover cluster connections yet.

Note: This resource requires WAC version 1812 or above.

Property	Description
ClusterName	Specifies the name of the failover cluster that needs to be added to Windows Admin Center for management.
GatewayEndpoint	Specifies the URL at which WAC is available. For example, https://wac.myhci.lab
Credential	Specifies the credentials to authenticate to WAC. This is mandatory.
Ensure	Specifies if a cluster connection in WAC should be added or removed. The valid values are Present and Absent. Default is Present.

Example 1

$configurationData = @{
    AllNodes = @(
        @{
            NodeName = 'localhost'
            PSDscAllowDomainUser = $true
            CertificateFile = "C:\certs\wachost.cer"
        }
    )
}

Configuration Sample_WacClusterConnection_Defaults
{
    param 
    (
        [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
        [pscredential]
        $Credential
    )
    Import-DscResource -ModuleName WindowsAdminCenterDsc

    Node $AllNodes.NodeName
    {
        WacHciConnection Sample_WacClusterConnection_Defaults
        {
            ClusterName = 'cluster.myhci.lab'
            GatewayEndpoint = 'https://wac.myhci.lab'
            Credential = $Credential
            Ensure = 'Present'
        }
    }
}

Sample_WacClusterConnection_Defaults -ConfigurationData $configurationData -Credential (Get-Credential)

The above example adds Windows failover cluster to WAC for management. Providing Credentials is mandatory since DSC runs in SYSTEM context.
