Description

Details of the scenario you tried and the problem that is occurring

If the IPAddress parameter is not set, it will default to 0.0.0.0 and enforce the property is set to 0.0.0.0. This resource should ensure only user set properties are enforced.

The DSC configuration that is using the resource (as detailed as possible)
xSQLServerEndpoint HADREndpoint
{
    EndpointName = $hadrEndpointName
    Ensure = 'Present'
    Port = 5022
    SQLServer = $sqlServer
    SQLInstanceName = $instanceName
    PsDscRunAsCredential = $Node.RunAsCredential
}

Research direction

Start at the SqlEndpoint DSC resource entry point and reproduce the shown configuration with IPAddress omitted. Trace how default values are enforced, then verify that only properties explicitly set by the user are enforced while the example still configures the endpoint correctly.
