Change log for xSQLServer

Unreleased

  • Changes to xSQLServerRSConfig

    • BREAKING CHANGE: Removed $SQLAdminCredential parameter. Use common parameter PsDscRunAsCredential (WMF 5.0+) to run the resource under different credentials. PsDscRunAsCredential Windows account must be a sysadmin on SQL Server (issue #568).

      In addition, the resource no longer uses Invoke-Command cmdlet that was used to impersonate the Windows user specified by $SQLAdminCredential. The call also needed CredSSP authentication to be enabled and configured on the target node, which complicated deployments in non-domain scenarios. Using PsDscRunAsCredential solves this problems for us.

    • Fixed virtual directory creation for SQL Server 2016.

    • Added unit tests (issue #295).

  • Changes to xSQLServerDatabase

    • Changed the readme, SQLInstance should have been SQLInstanceName.

  • Changes to xSQLServerSetup

    • Updated Get-TargetResource to correctly detect BOL, Conn, BC and other tools when they are installed withouth SQLENGINE (issue #591).

  • Changes to xSQLServer

    • BREAKING CHANGE: xSQLServer does no longer try to support WMF 4.0 (PowerShell 4.0) (issue #574). Minimum supported version of WMF is now 5.0 (PowerShell 5.0).
    • BREAKING CHANGE: Removed deprecated resource xSQLAOGroupJoin (issue #457).
    • BREAKING CHANGE: Removed deprecated resource xSQLAOGroupEnsure (issue #456).
    • BREAKING CHANGE: Removed deprecated resource xSQLServerFailoverClusterSetup (issue #336).

  • Changes to xSQLServerHelper

    • Removed helper function Grant-ServerPerms because the deprecated resource that was using it was removed.
    • Removed helper function Grant-CNOPerms because the deprecated resource that was using it was removed.
    • Removed helper function New-ListenerADObject because the deprecated resource that was using it was removed.

  • Changes to xSQLServerSetup

    • BREAKING CHANGE: Replaced StartWin32Process helper function with the cmdlet Start-Process (issue #41, #93 and #126).
    • BREAKING CHANGE: The parameter SetupCredential has been removed since it is no longer needed. This is because the resource now support the built-in PsDscRunAsCredential.
    • BREAKING CHANGE: Now the resource supports using built-in PsDscRunAsCredential. If PsDscRunAsCredential is set, that username will be used as the first system administrator.
    • BREAKING CHANGE: If the parameter PsDscRunAsCredential are not assigned any credentials then the resource will start the setup process as 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.
    • When setup exits with the exit code 3010 a warning message is written to console telling that setup finished successfully, but a reboot is required (partly fixes issue #565).
    • When setup exits with an exit code other than 0 or 3010 a warning message is written to console telling that setup finished with an error (partly fixes issue #580).
    • Added a new parameter SetupProcessTimeout which defaults to 7200 seconds (2 hours). If the setup process has not finished before the timeout value in SetupProcessTimeout an error will be thrown (issue #566).
    • Updated all examples to match the removal of SetupCredential.
    • Updated (removed) severe known issues in README.md for resource xSQLServerSetup.

    • Added examples.
  • Changes to xSQLServerPermission
    • Cleaned up code, removed SupportsShouldProcess and fixed PSSA rules warnings (issue #241 and issue #262).
    • It is now possible to add permissions to two or more logins on the same instance (issue #526).
    • The parameter NodeName is no longer mandatory and has now the default value of $env:COMPUTERNAME.
    • The parameter Ensure now has a default value of 'Present'.
    • Updated README.md with a description for the resources and revised the parameter descriptions.

  • Changes to xSQLServerSetUp
    • Updated xSQLServerSetup Module Get-Resource method to fix (issue #516 and #490).
    • Added change to detect DQ, DQC, BOL, SDK features. Now the function Test-TargetResource returns true after calling set for DQ, DQC, BOL, SDK features (issue #516 and #490).

    • Added optional parameter RestartTimeout with default value of 120 seconds.
    • Now the resource supports restarting a sql server in a cluster (issue #527 and issue #455).
    • Now the resource allows to set the parameter TcpDynamicPorts to a blank value (partly fixes issue #534). Setting a blank value for parameter TcpDynamicPorts together with a value for parameter TcpPort means that static port will be used.
    • Now the resource will not call Alter() in the Set-TargetResource when there is no change necessary (issue #537).
    • Updated example 1-EnableTcpIpOnCustomStaticPort.
    • Added unit tests (issue #294).
    • Refactored some of the code, cleaned up the rest and fixed PSSA rules warnings (issue #261).
    • If parameter TcpDynamicPort is set to '0' at the same time as TcpPort is set the resource will now throw an error (issue #535).
    • Added examples (issue #536).
    • When TcpDynamicPorts is set to '0' the Test-TargetResource function will no longer fail each time (issue #564).
  • Changes to xSQLServerRSConfig
    • Replaced sqlcmd.exe usages with Invoke-Sqlcmd calls (issue #567).
  • Changes to xSQLServerDatabasePermission
    • Fixed code style, updated README.md and removed *-SqlDatabasePermission functions from xSQLServerHelper.psm1.
    • Added the option 'GrantWithGrant' with gives the user grant rights, together with the ability to grant others the same right.
    • Now the resource can revoke permission correctly (issue #454). When revoking 'GrantWithGrant', both the grantee and all the other users the grantee has granted the same permission to, will also get their permission revoked.
    • Updated tests to cover Revoke().
  • Changes to xSQLServerHelper
    • The missing helper function ('Test-SPDSCObjectHasProperty'), that was referenced in the helper function Test-SQLDscParameterState, is now incorporated into Test-SQLDscParameterState (issue #589).

  • Changes to xSQLServerEndpoint
    • BREAKING CHANGE: Now SQLInstanceName is mandatory, and is a key, so SQLInstanceName has no longer a default value (issue #279).
    • BREAKING CHANGE: Parameter AuthorizedUser has been removed (issue #466, issue #275 and issue #80). Connect permissions can be set using the resource xSQLServerEndpointPermission.

    • BREAKING CHANGE: Changed helper function Import-SQLPSModule to support SqlServer module (issue #91). The SqlServer module is the preferred module so if it is found it will be used, and if not found an attempt will be done to load SQLPS module instead.
  • Changes to xSQLServerScript
    • Updated tests for this resource, because they failed when Import-SQLPSModule was updated.

6.0.0.0

  • Changes to xSQLServerConfiguration
    • BREAKING CHANGE: The parameter SQLInstanceName is now mandatory.
    • Resource can now be used to define the configuration of two or more different DB instances on the same server.

    • xSQLServerRole now correctly reports that the desired state is present when the login is already a member of the server roles.
  • Added new resources
    • xSQLServerAlwaysOnAvailabilityGroup
  • Changes to xSQLServerSetup
    • Properly checks for use of SQLSysAdminAccounts parameter in $PSBoundParameters. The test now also properly evaluates the setup argument for SQLSysAdminAccounts.
    • xSQLServerSetup should now function correctly for the InstallFailoverCluster action, and also supports cluster shared volumes. Note that the AddNode action is not currently working.
    • It now detects that feature Client Connectivity Tools (CONN) and Client Connectivity Backwards Compatibility Tools (BC) is installed.
    • Now it can correctly determine the right cluster when only parameter InstallSQLDataDir is assigned a path (issue #401).

    • It now can handle mandatory parameters, and are not using wildcard to find the variables containing paths (issue #394).
    • Changed so that instead of connection to localhost it is using $env:COMPUTERNAME as the host name to which it connects. And for cluster installation it uses the parameter FailoverClusterNetworkName as the host name to which it connects (issue #407).
    • When called with Action = 'PrepareFailoverCluster', the SQLSysAdminAccounts and FailoverClusterGroup parameters are no longer passed to the setup process (issues #410 and 411).
    • Solved the problem that InstanceDir and InstallSQLDataDir could not be set to just a qualifier, i.e 'E:' (issue #418). All paths (except SourcePath) can now be set to just the qualifier.
  • Enables CodeCov.io code coverage reporting.
  • Added badge for CodeCov.io to README.md.
