.NAME
    SqlSetup
 
.DESCRIPTION
    The SqlSetup DSC resource installs SQL Server on the target node.
 
    ## Requirements
 
    - Target machine must be running Windows Server 2012 or later.
    - For configurations that utilize the 'InstallFailoverCluster' action, the following
      parameters are required (beyond those required for the standalone installation).
      See the article https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/database-engine/install-windows/install-sql-server-from-the-command-prompt
      under the section https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/database-engine/install-windows/install-sql-server-from-the-command-prompt#ClusterInstall
      for more information.
      - InstanceName (can be 'MSSQLSERVER' if you want to install a default
        clustered instance).
      - FailoverClusterNetworkName
      - FailoverClusterIPAddress
      - Additional parameters needed when installing Database Engine.
        - InstallSQLDataDir
        - AgtSvcAccount
        - SQLSvcAccount
        - SQLSysAdminAccounts
      - Additional parameters needed when installing Analysis Services.
        - ASSysAdminAccounts
        - AsSvcAccount
    - These parameters cannot be used for configurations that utilize the
      'InstallFailoverCluster' action:
      - BrowserSvcStartupType
    - The parameters below can only be used when installing SQL Server 2016 or
      later:
      - SqlTempDbFileCount
      - SqlTempDbFileSize
      - SqlTempDbFileGrowth
      - SqlTempDbLogFileSize
      - SqlTempDbLogFileGrowth
    - When installing SQL Server Analysis Services the account used to start
      the service must have the correct permissions in directory tree for the
      data folders. If not the service can fail with an access denied error.
      For more information see the https://github.com/dsccommunity/SqlServerDsc/issues/1443.
      To change permissions on folders the DSC resource https://github.com/dsccommunity/FileSystemDsc
      can be used.
    - On certain operating systems, when using least privilege for the service
      account for the SQL Server Database Engine the security policy setting
      https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-protection/security-policy-settings/network-access-restrict-clients-allowed-to-make-remote-sam-calls
      can result in an access denied when validating accounts in the domain.
      For more information see the https://github.com/dsccommunity/SqlServerDsc/issues/1559.
 
    ## Features supported
 
    This is a list of currently supported features. All features might not be
    available on all versions of SQL Server.
 
    - SQLENGINE
    - REPLICATION
    - DQ
    - DQC
    - BOL
    - CONN
    - BC
    - SDK
    - MDS
    - FULLTEXT
    - RS
    - AS
    - IS
    - SSMS
    - ADV_SSMS
 
    > [!NOTE]
    > It is not possible to add or remove features to a SQL Server failover
    > cluster. This is a limitation of SQL Server. See article
    > https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2547273/you-cannot-add-or-remove-features-to-a-sql-server-2008,-sql-server-2008-r2,-or-sql-server-2012-failover-cluster.
 
    ## Skip rules
 
    The parameter SkipRule accept one or more skip rules with will be passed
    to setup.exe. Using the parameter SkipRule is not recommended in a
    production environment unless there is a valid reason for it.
 
    For more information about skip rules see the article https://deep.data.blog/2014/04/02/sql-2012-setup-rules-the-missing-reference/.
 
    ## Credentials for running the resource
 
    ### PsDscRunAsCredential
 
    If PsDscRunAsCredential is set, the installation will be performed with those
    credentials, and the user name will be used as the first system administrator.
 
    ### SYSTEM
 
    If PsDscRunAsCredential is not assigned credentials then installation will be
    performed by the SYSTEM account. When installing as the SYSTEM account, then
    parameter SQLSysAdminAccounts and ASSysAdminAccounts must be specified when
    installing feature Database Engine and Analysis Services respectively.
 
    ## Credentials for service accounts
 
    ### Service Accounts
 
    Service account username containing dollar sign ('$') is allowed, but if the
    dollar sign is at the end of the username it will be considered a Managed Service
    Account.
 
    ### Managed Service Accounts
 
    If a service account username has a dollar sign at the end of the name it will
    be considered a Managed Service Account. Any password passed in
    the credential object will be ignored, meaning the account is not expected to
    need a '*SVCPASSWORD' argument in the setup arguments.
 
    ## Note about 'tempdb' properties
 
    The properties SqlTempDbFileSize and SqlTempDbFileGrowth that are
    returned from Get-TargetResource will return the sum of the average size
    and growth. If tempdb has data files with both percentage and megabytes the
    value returned is a sum of the average megabytes and the average percentage.
    For example is there is one data file using growth 100MB and another file
    having growth set to 10% then the returned value would be 110.
    This will be notable if there are multiple files in the filegroup PRIMARY
    with different sizes and growths.
 
    ## Considerations for the parameter SourceCredential
 
    Using the parameter SourceCredential will trigger a copy of the installation
    media to a temp folder on the target node. Setup will then be started from
    the temp folder on the target node. For any subsequent calls to the resource,
    the parameter SourceCredential is used to evaluate what major version the
    file 'setup.exe' has in the path set, again, by the parameter SourcePath.
    To know how the temp folder is evaluated please read the online documentation
    for https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.path.gettemppath(v=vs.110.aspx).
    If the path, that is assigned to parameter SourcePath, contains a leaf folder,
    for example '\server\share\folder', then that leaf folder will be used as the
    name of the temporary folder. If the path, that is assigned to parameter
    SourcePath, does not have a leaf folder, for example '\server\share', then
    a unique GUID will be used as the name of the temporary folder.
 
    ## Feature flags
 
    Not to be mistaken with the Features parameter.
 
    Feature flags are used to toggle resource functionality on or off. One or
    more feature flags can be added to the parameter FeatureFlag, i.e.
    FeatureFlag = @('DetectionSharedFeatures').
 
    > [!NOTE]
    > The functionality, exposed with a feature flag, can be changed
    > from one release to another, including having breaking changes.
 
    <!-- markdownlint-disable MD013 -->
    Feature flag | Description
    --- | ---
    DetectionSharedFeatures | A new way of detecting if the shared features is installed or not. This was implemented because the previous implementation did not work fully with SQL Server 2017.
    AnalysisServicesConnection | A new method of loading the assembly Microsoft.AnalysisServices. Using this, no longer is the helper function Connect-SqlAnalysis using LoadWithPartial() to load the assembly Microsoft.AnalysisServices. This requires the https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/SqlServer to be present on the node.
    <!-- markdownlint-enable MD013 -->

.EXAMPLE 4
 
This example shows how to install the first node in a SQL Server failover cluster.
 
.NOTES
This example assumes that a Failover Cluster is already present with a Cluster Name Object (CNO), IP-address.
This example also assumes that that all necessary shared disks is present, and formatted with the correct
drive letter, to accommodate the paths used during SQL Server setup. Minimum is one shared disk.
This example also assumes that the Cluster Name Object (CNO) has the permission to manage Computer Objects in
the Organizational Unit (OU) where the CNO Computer Object resides in Active Directory. This is necessary
so that SQL Server setup can create a Virtual Computer Object (VCO) for the cluster group
(Windows Server 2012 R2 and earlier) or cluster role (Windows Server 2016 and later). Also so that the
Virtual Computer Object (VCO) can be removed when the Failover CLuster instance is uninstalled.
 
See the DSC resources xFailoverCluster, StorageDsc and iSCSIDsc for information how to setup a failover cluster
with DSC.
 
The resource is run using the SYSTEM account, but the setup is run using impersonation, with the credentials in
SetupCredential, when Action is 'InstallFailoverCluster'.
 
Assumes the credentials assigned to SourceCredential have read permission on the share and on the UNC path.
The media will be copied locally, using impersonation with the credentials provided in SourceCredential, so
that the impersonated credentials in SetupCredential can access the media locally.
 
There is currently a bug that prevents the resource to logon to the instance if the current node is not the
active node. This is because the resource tries to logon using the SYSTEM account instead of the credentials
in SetupCredential, and the resource does not currently support the built-in PsDscRunAsCredential either (see
issue #444).

.EXAMPLE 5
 
This example shows how to add a node to an existing SQL Server failover cluster.
 
.NOTES
This example assumes that a Failover Cluster is already present with the first SQL Server Failover Cluster
node already installed.
This example also assumes that that the same shared disks on the first node is also present on this second
node.
 
See the example 4-InstallNamedInstanceInFailoverClusterFirstNode.ps1 for information how to setup the first
SQL Server Failover Cluster node.
 
The resource is run using the SYSTEM account, but the setup is run using impersonation, with the credentials in
SetupCredential, when Action is 'Addnode'.
 
Assumes the credentials assigned to SourceCredential have read permission on the share and on the UNC path.
The media will be copied locally, using impersonation with the credentials provided in SourceCredential, so
that the impersonated credentials in SetupCredential can access the media locally.
 
Setup cannot be run using PsDscRunAsCredential at this time (see issue #405 and issue #444). That
also means that at this time PsDscRunAsCredential can not be used to access media on the UNC share.
 
There is currently a bug that prevents the resource to logon to the instance if the current node is not the
active node. This is because the resource tries to logon using the SYSTEM account instead of the credentials
in SetupCredential, and the resource does not currently support the built-in PsDscRunAsCredential either (see
