.EXAMPLE 1
 
 
This example shows how to enable the AES 128/128 hash.
 
 
    Configuration Example
    {
        param(
        )
 
        Import-DscResource -ModuleName SChannelDsc
 
        node localhost {
            Cipher EnableAES128
            {
                Cipher = "AES 128/128"
                State = "Enabled"
            }
        }
    }
 
.EXAMPLE 2
 
 
This example shows how to disable the AES 128/128 hash.
 
 
    Configuration Example
    {
        param(
        )
 
        Import-DscResource -ModuleName SChannelDsc
 
        node localhost {
            Cipher DisableAES128
            {
                Cipher = "AES 128/128"
                State = "Disabled"
            }
        }
    }
 
.EXAMPLE 3
 
 
This example shows how to reset the AES 128/128 cipher to the OS default.
 
 
    Configuration Example
    {
        param(
        )
 
        Import-DscResource -ModuleName SChannelDsc
 
        node localhost {
            Cipher DisableAES128
            {
                Cipher = "AES 128/128"
                State = "Default"
            }
        }
    }
