Description

Details of the scenario you try and problem that is occurring:

Currently the SPSearchServiceApp only supports creating the databases on a single SQL Server. For very large scale deployments this might not be the desired state, so we should be able to configure the resource to move the DBs once they are provisioned.

The DSC configuration that is using the resource:

Any configuration of SPSearchServiceApp

Version of the Operating System and PowerShell the DSC Target Node is running:

n/a

Version of the DSC module you're using:

1.0

Research direction

Start by reviewing the SPSearchServiceApp resource and its current single-SQL-Server database provisioning path. Determine how database-server configuration and post-provisioning moves should be represented, then verify that a configuration can provision the databases across multiple servers and move them as requested.
