Description

DNS Delegation is no longer working.

In version 2.14 DNS Delegation for Child Domains was working fine.
In 2.16 it no longer works.

I'm fairly certain it's due to changes in 2.15, specifically this change @iainbrighton https://github.com/PowerShell/xActiveDirectory/commit/7223fbc77f095474db27c2788c7c0193ef1ddd10#diff-a7c07329742e59a436bee9ed08a3f411L232

That looks like it was a major breaking change.

If the InstallDns parameter is no longer being sent to Install-ADDSForest/Install-ADDSDomain then it makes the DnsDelegationCredential Resource Property useless

Research direction

Inspect the 2.15 change linked in the issue, then trace how InstallDns and DnsDelegationCredential reach Install-ADDSForest and Install-ADDSDomain. Compare delegation behavior between versions 2.14 and 2.16; done means child-domain DNS delegation works again and the resource property is effective.
