Release Notes

- ScheduledTask:
- Better compatibility with Group LogonType
   when passing BuiltIn groups through ExecuteAsCredential
   - Primary use case is "BUILTIN\Users"
   - Use the ExecuteAsCredential property to pass the username
     The PSCredential needs a non-null that is ignored
- Delay property not handled properly on AtLogon and AtStartup trigger - Fixes
   [Issue 230](https://github.com/PowerShell/ComputerManagementDsc/issues/230)
- Changed `Get-ScheduledTask` calls to `ScheduledTasks\Get-ScheduledTask` to
   avoid name clash with `Carbon` module. Fixes [Issue 248](https://github.com/PowerShell/ComputerManagementDsc/issues/248)
- Cast `MultipleInstances` value returned by `Get-TargetResource` to `string` -
   fixes [Issue 255](https://github.com/PowerShell/ComputerManagementDsc/issues/255)
- PendingReboot:
- Migrated xPendingReboot from [xPendingReboot](https://github.com/PowerShell/xPendingReboot)
   and renamed to PendingReboot.
- Converted to meet HQRM guidelines - Fixes [Issue 12](https://github.com/PowerShell/xPendingReboot/issues/12).
- Changed `SkipCcmClientSDK` parameter to default to `$true` - Fixes [Issue 13](https://github.com/PowerShell/xPendingReboot/issues/13).
- Fixed `Test-TargetResource` so that if ConfigMgr requires a reboot then
   the pending reboot will be set - Fixes [Issue 26](https://github.com/PowerShell/xPendingReboot/issues/26).
- Refactored `Test-TargetResource` to reduce code duplication and move to a
   data driven design.
- Refactored `Get-TargetResource` by adding a new function `Get-PendingRebootState`
   so that `Test-TargetResource` no longer needed to use `Get-TargetResource`. This
   eliminated the need to include write parameters in `Get-TargetResource`.
- Converted the call to `Invoke-WmiMethod` to `Invoke-CimMethod`.
- Deleted the code that removes the `regRebootLocations` variable at the end of
   the resource as it appears to serve no purpose.
- Correct all tests to meet Pester 4.0 standards.
- RemoteDesktopAdmin:
- New resource for configuring Remote Desktop for Administration - fixes
   [Issue 224](https://github.com/PowerShell/ComputerManagementDsc/issues/224).
- Updated common function `Test-DscParameterState` to support ordered comparison
of arrays by copying function and tests from `NetworkingDsc` - fixes [Issue 250](https://github.com/PowerShell/ComputerManagementDsc/issues/250).
- BREAKING CHANGE: ScheduledTask:
- Correct output type of `DaysInterval`,`StartTime`,`WeeksDaysOfWeek`,
   and `WeeksInterval` parameters from `Get-TargetResource` to match MOF.
- Refactored `Get-TargetResource` to remove parameters that
   are not key or required - fixes [Issue 249](https://github.com/PowerShell/ComputerManagementDsc/issues/249).
- Added function `Test-DateStringContainsTimeZone` to determine if a string
   containing a date time includes a time zone.
- Enable verbose preference to be passed through to `Test-DscParameterState`.
- Changed `Test-TargetResource` so that `StartTime` is only compared for
   trigger types `Daily`,`Weekly` or `Once`.
- Fix minor style issues in statement case.
