This issue is created to bring some improvements to the SqlSetup DSC Configuration. The idea is to report all the missing options in the resource to be allow the installation of all the features and to use all the options available in the SQL Server installer.

Support for feature to add :
AdvancedAnalytics : Install R on SQL Server 2016 / install R Open and proprietary R packages.
SQL_INST_MR : Applies to SQL Server 2017 Machine Learning Services. Pair with AdvancedAnalytics to install R Open and proprietary R packages
SQL_INST_MPY : Applies to SQL Server 2017 Machine Learning Services. Pair with AdvancedAnalytics to install Anaconda and proprietary Python packages.
SQL_SHARED_MR : Installs R packages for SQL Server 2016 R Server (Standalone) or SQL Server 2017 Machine Learning Server (Standalone)
SQL_SHARED_MPY : Installs Python packages for SQL Server 2017 Machine Learning Server (Standalone)

Option to add to the DSC Resource :
/IACCEPTPYTHONLICENSETERMS
/IACCEPTROPENLICENSETERMS
/MPYCACHEDIRECTORY
/MRCACHEDIRECTORY
