Historic change log for xFailOverCluster

The release notes in the PowerShell Module manifest cannot exceed 10000 characters. Due to a bug in the CI deploy pipeline this is not handled. This file is to temporary move the older change log history to keep the change log short.

4.2.0.0

Added

  • ADReplicationSite
  • ADReplicationSubnet
  • ADReplicationSiteLink
    • Added Integration testing (issue #356).
    • Added ability to set 'Options' such as Change Notification Replication (issue #504).

Fixed

  • ActiveDirectoryDsc
    • Resolved custom Script Analyzer rules that was added to the test framework.
  • ActiveDirectoryDsc.Common
    • Fix Test-DscPropertyState Failing when Comparing $Null and Arrays. (issue #513).
  • ADReplicationSite
    • Correct value returned for RenameDefaultFirstSiteName (issue #502).

4.1.0.0

  • Changes to ActiveDirectoryDsc
    • New resource ADDomainControllerProperties (issue #301).
    • New resource ADForestFunctionalLevel (issue #200).
    • New resource ADDomainFunctionalLevel (issue #200).
    • Split the meta tests and the unit and integration tests in different AppVeyor jobs (issue #437).
    • Fixed all stub cmdlets and unit tests so the unit test can be run locally without having the ActiveDirectory module installed on the computer. This will also be reflected in the AppVeyor build worker where there will no longer be an ActiveDirectory module installed. This is to make sure that if the unit tests work locally they should also work in the CI pipeline.
    • Added new stubs for the cmdlets and classes to be used with unit tests. The new stubs are based on the modules ActiveDirectory and ADDSDeployment in Windows Server 2019. The stubs are generated using the PowerShell module Indented.StubCommand. Instructions how to generate stubs (for example for a new operating system) has been added to the README.md in the Tests/Unit/Stubs folder (issue #245).
    • Update all unit tests removing all local stub functions in favor of the new stub modules.
    • Enable PSScriptAnalyzer default rules (issue #491).
  • Changes to ActiveDirectoryDsc.Common
    • Updated common helper function Find-DomainController with the optional parameter WaitForValidCredentials which will ignore authentication exceptions when the credentials cannot be authenticated.
    • Updated the function Test-ADReplicationSite to make the parameter Credential mandatory.
    • Update helper function Add-ADCommonGroupMember to reduce duplicated code, and add an evaluation if Members is empty.
    • Updated helper function Restore-ADCommonObject to write out a verbose message when no object was found in the recycle bin.
    • Updated helper function Assert-MemberParameters to not throw an error if the parameter Members is en empty array.
  • Changes to WaitForADDomain
    • Correct grammar issues in example descriptions.
    • An optional parameter WaitForValidCredentials can be set to $true to tell the resource to ignore authentication errors (issue #478).
  • Changes to ADDomain
    • The property DomainName will now always return the same value as was passed in as the parameter. For the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the domain see the new read-only property DnsRoot.
    • If the domain should exist, the resource correctly waits only 5 times when calling Get-TargetResource if the tracking file was previously created (issue #181).
    • The resource now throws if either one of the cmdlets Install-ADDSForest or Install-ADDSDomain fails, and will not create the tracking file (issue #181).
    • The resource now outputs the properties from Get-TargetResource when a domain cannot be found.
    • Minor casing corrections on the parameter and variable names.
    • Improved the parameter descriptions of the parameters DomainName and Credential.
    • If the tracking file is missing and the domain is found a warning message is now written asking the consumer to recreate the file.
    • Correctly outputs the time in seconds in the verbose message how long the resource waits between ech retry when looking for the domain (when a tracking file exist and the domain is not yet responding).
    • If the Set-TargetResource is called directly it will not try to create the domain if it already exist.
    • Added read-only property DnsRoot that will return the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the domain or child domain.
    • Added read-only property Forest that will return the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the forest that the domain belongs to.
    • Added read-only property DomainExist that will return $true if the domain was found, or $false if it was not.
  • Changes to ADUser
    • Remove unused non-mandatory parameters from the Get-TargetResource (issue #293).
    • Added a note to the resource README.md that RestoreFromRecycleBin needs the feature Recycle Bin enabled.
  • Changes to ADDomainController
    • Add InstallDns parameter to enable promotion without installing local DNS Server Service (issue #87).
  • Changes to ADGroup
    • Now Get-TargetResource returns correct value when the group does not exist.
    • Added integration tests (issue #350).
    • Added a read-only property DistinguishedName.
    • Refactor the function Set-TargetResource to use the function Get-TargetResource so that Set-TargetResource can correctly throw an error when something goes wrong (issue #151, issue #166, issue #493).
    • It is now possible to enforce a group with no members by using Members = @() in a configuration (issue #189).
    • Added a note to the resource README.md that RestoreFromRecycleBin needs the feature Recycle Bin enabled (issue #496).
  • Changes to ADOrganizationalUnit

    • BREAKING CHANGE: Renamed the xActiveDirectory to ActiveDirectoryDsc and removed the 'x' from all resource names (issue #312).
    • The helper function Find-DomainController is exported in the module manifest. When running Import-Module -Name ActiveDirectoryDsc the module will also import the nested module ActiveDirectoryDsc.Common. It is exported so that the resource WaitForADDomain can reuse code when running a background job to search for a domain controller.
    • Module manifest has been updated to optimize module auto-discovery according to the article PowerShell module authoring considerations (issue #463).
    • Added a Requirements section to every DSC resource README with the bullet point stating "Target machine must be running Windows Server 2008 R2 or later" (issue #399).
