 # This example is allowing storage of credentials in plain text by setting PSDscAllowPlainTextPassword to $true.
 # Storing passwords in plain text is not a good practice and is presented only for simplicity and demonstration purposes.
 # To learn how to securely store credentials through the use of certificates,
 # please refer to the following TechNet topic: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn781430.aspx
