.EXAMPLE 1
 
This configuration will ensure a DNS MX record exists when only the mandatory properties are specified.
 
Configuration DnsRecordMx_Mandatory_config
{
    Import-DscResource -ModuleName 'xDnsServer'
 
    Node localhost
    {
        DnsRecordMx 'TestRecord'
        {
            ZoneName = 'contoso.com'
            EmailDomain = 'contoso.com'
            MailExchange = 'mailserver1.contoso.com'
            Priority = 20
            Ensure = 'Present'
        }
    }
}
 
.EXAMPLE 2
 
This configuration will ensure a DNS MX record exists when all properties are specified.
 
Configuration DnsRecordMx_Full_config
{
    Import-DscResource -ModuleName 'xDnsServer'
 
    Node localhost
    {
        DnsRecordMx 'TestRecord'
        {
            ZoneName = 'contoso.com'
            EmailDomain = 'contoso.com'
            MailExchange = 'mailserver1.contoso.com'
            Priority = 20
            TimeToLive = '01:00:00'
            DnsServer = 'localhost'
            Ensure = 'Present'
        }
    }
}
 
.EXAMPLE 3
 
This configuration will ensure a DNS MX record does not exist when mandatory properties are specified.
 
Note that the 'Priority' property value will be ignored when determining whether the record is to be removed.
 
Configuration DnsRecordMx_Remove_config
{
    Import-DscResource -ModuleName 'xDnsServer'
 
    Node localhost
    {
        DnsRecordMx 'TestRecord'
        {
            ZoneName = 'contoso.com'
            EmailDomain = 'contoso.com'
            MailExchange = 'mailserver1.contoso.com'
            Priority = 20
            Ensure = 'Absent'
        }
