NAME
    xSPDistributedCacheService
 
PARAMETERS
    Name (Key, String)
    Ensure (Required, string, Allowed values: Present, Absent)
    CacheSizeInMB (Required, UInt32)
    ServiceAccount (Required, String)
    InstallAccount (Write, String)
    CreateFirewallRules (Required, Boolean)
 
DESCRIPTION
 
This resource is responsible for provisioning the distributed cache to the service it runs on.
This is required in your farm on at least one server (as the behavior of [xSPCreateFarm](xSPCreateFarm) and [xSPJoinFarm](xSPJoinFarm) is to not enroll every server as a cache server).
The service will be provisioned or de-provisioned based on the Ensure property, and when provisioned the CacheSizeInMB property and ServiceAccount property will be used to configure it.
The property createFirewallRules is used to determine if exceptions should be added to the windows firewall to allow communication between servers on the appropriate ports.
 
EXAMPLE
 
    xSPDistributedCacheService EnableDistributedCache
    {
        Name = "AppFabricCachingService"
        Ensure = "Present"
        CacheSizeInMB = 8192
        ServiceAccount = "DEMO\ServiceAccount"
        InstallAccount = $InstallAccount
        CreateFirewallRules = $true
    }
