Code of Conduct

This project has adopted this Code of Conduct.

Releases

For each merge to the branch master a preview release will be deployed to PowerShell Gallery. Periodically a release version tag will be pushed which will deploy a full release to PowerShell Gallery.

Installation

To manually install the module, download the source code and unzip the contents of the \Modules\SChannelDsc directory to the $env:ProgramFiles\WindowsPowerShell\Modules folder

To install from the PowerShell Gallery using PowerShellGet (in PowerShell 5.0) run the following command:

Find-Module -Name SChannelDsc -Repository PSGallery | Install-Module

To confirm installation, run the below command and ensure you see the SChannel DSC resoures available:

Get-DscResource -Module SChannelDsc

Requirements

The minimum PowerShell version required is 4.0, which ships in Windows 8.1 or Windows Server 2012R2 (or higher versions). The preferred version is PowerShell 5.0 or higher, which ships with Windows 10 or Windows Server 2016. This is discussed on the SChannelDsc wiki, but generally PowerShell 5 will run the SChannel DSC resources faster and with improved verbose level logging.

Documentation and examples

For a full list of resources in SChannelDsc and examples on their use, check out the SChannelDsc wiki. You can also review the "examples" directory in the SChannelDsc module for some general use scenarios for all of the resources that are in the module.
