Release Notes

## [0.13.0-preview0004] - 2026-07-09

### Changed

- OfficeOnlineServerSetup:
 - **BREAKING**: Renamed parameter `WindowsFeatureSourcePath` to `SourcePath`
   and made it mandatory.
 - Replaced `xWindowsFeatureSet` composite resource with individual
   `WindowsFeature` resources, each specifying the `Source` path for SxS
   feature installation and an explicit `DependsOn` on `NetFx35`.
- `xRemoteDesktopSessionHost`
 - Rename to `RemoteDesktopServicesDsc`.
 - Update to version 4.1.0.
 - Updated doc references.
- Tests
 - Re-enabled tests for:
   - 'PowerShellRepositories'
   - 'RemoteDesktopCollections'
   - 'RemoteDesktopDeployment'
- Module GUIDs:
 - Regenerated unique GUIDs for:
   - PowerShellRepositories
   - RemoteDesktopCertificates
   - RemoteDesktopCollections
   - RemoteDesktopDeployment
   - RemoteDesktopHAMode
   - RemoteDesktopLicensing
   - RenameNetworkAdapters
   - RestartSystem

### Fixed

- AddsOrgUnitsAndGroups:
 - Each `DomainLocal` group now depends only on its own parent OU instead of the
   entire OU list. Assigning every OU as `DependsOn` to every `DomainLocal` group
   produced an O(groups x OUs) dependency explosion that, once the composite is
   expanded into a root configuration, could push a large domain controller's MOF
   past DSC's hard 50 MB `ValidateInstanceText` limit (`serializedBufferLength must
   be in the range of 4 and 52428800`). The parent OU is sufficient for correct
   apply ordering; falls back to the full list when the parent OU is not managed by
   the composite.
- DfsNamespaces:
 - Added a `Service` resource to ensure the `Dfs` service is running before
   configuring DFS namespace settings. `DFSNamespaceServerConfiguration` now
   depends on the service resource to prevent configuration failures when the
   DFS service has not started yet.
- DscPullServerSql:
 - Removed the default values from the mandatory `SqlServer` and `DatabaseName`
   parameters. A mandatory parameter never uses its default value, and the
   combination triggered the required PS Script Analyzer rule
   `PSAvoidDefaultValueForMandatoryParameter`, which failed the HQRM tests on
   newer analyzer versions.
- README
 - Fixed PSGallery PreRelease badge.
