Function Update-DistributedCacheIdentity {
<#
.Synopsis
   Updates the Distributed Cache Service Account Identity.
.DESCRIPTION
   Updates the Distributed Cache Service Account Identity.
   Can be run from any Server in the Farm.
   If the Farm Service exists and a Cache Host exists, it will deploy after ensuring there is only
   one Cache Host and then re-add the other Cache Hosts
   If the Farm Service exists but zero Cache Hosts exist, and we include -InitialIdentity it will update
   the identity but not deploy, which supports a SharePoint 2016 MinRole Farm build pattern. Should never be
   used afer creating the Cache Cluster
 
   If Deploy fails we put the Cluster back as it was
.EXAMPLE
   Update-DistributedCacheIdentity -ManagedAccountName "DOMAIN\user" -Credential $Credential
.EXAMPLE
   Update-DistributedCacheIdentity -ManagedAccountName "DOMAIN\user" -Credential $Credential -InitialIdentity

Function Update-DistributedCacheSize {
<#
.Synopsis
   Updates the Cache Size in MB on every Cache Host in the Cluster.
.DESCRIPTION
   Updates the Cache Size in MB on every Cache Host in the Cluster.
   Can be run from any server in the farm.
   Stops the Service Instance where ever it is running, configures the Cache Size and Starts the Service Instances
 
   SP2016 Note:
   Once we stop the SIs each machine will be out of compliance with minrole.
   All will be good once it's complete, however we could use Stop-SPService first which sets AutoProvision to false.
   Then Start-SPService after changing the cache size. that way there can never be any "conflict"
   But that only works with SP16 and MinRole.
   This way it works no matter which version or if we are MinRole or Custom
   The time it takes is so small, and you shoyuld be aware of when timer jobs are running anyway!
