Description
Details of the scenario you tried and the problem that is occurring
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.
Option to add to the DSC Resource :
/ENABLERANU : Enables run-as credentials for SQL Server Express installations.
/ADDCURRENTUSERASSQLADMIN : Adds the current user to the SQL Server sysadmin fixed server role. The /ADDCURRENTUSERASSQLADMIN parameter can be used when installing Express editions or when /Role=ALLFeatures_WithDefaults is used. For more information, see /ROLE below.
