Description
xADManagedServiceAccount: Add functionality to install and test MSAs, and manage group delegation on GMSAs.
Description
This is a feature set that warrants discussion over how we want the resource to act.
- MSAs
- Do we want a parameter that installs the accounts on the node?
- Do we want to run
Test-ADServiceAccountto confirm the account is working?
- GMSAs
- Do we want to have the resource provision AD groups, or do we want another DSC resource to create the group, then have the GMSA associate with that group?
- Do we want to modify an AD group's membership with this DSC resource, or do we want another DSC resource to modify membership?
- Do we want to run
Test-ADServiceAccountto confirm the account is working?

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing xADManagedServiceAccount resource and the surrounding DSC resource patterns. Work through the listed MSA and GMSA questions, including installation, Test-ADServiceAccount checks, group provisioning, and group membership delegation. Done requires agreed behavior and corresponding implementation and tests, but the issue does not name specific files or test locations.
