.NAME
    SPFarmAdministrators
 
.DESCRIPTION
     
    This resource is used to manage the membership of the farm administrators group.
    There are a number of approaches to how this can be implemented. The "members"
    property will set a specific list of members for the group, making sure that every
    user/group in the list is in the group and all others that are members and who are
    not in this list will be removed. The "MembersToInclude" and "MembersToExclude"
    properties will allow you to control a specific set of users to add or remove,
    without changing any other members that are in the group already that may not be
    specified here, allowing for some manual management outside of this configuration
    resource.
