Description
Resource proposal
A class-based SqlRS resource would ensure SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) is configured as required. It would use Test-SqlDscRSInstalled and other relevant commands.
Proposed properties
| Property | Type qualifier | Data type | Description | Default value | Allowed values |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ensure | Key | String | Whether SSRS should be Present or Absent | Present | Present, Absent |
| InstanceName | Key | String | The SSRS instance name | None | Any valid instance name |
| Configuration | Write | Hashtable | SSRS configuration options | None | Valid configuration options |
| ServerName | Key | String | The SQL Server host name | None | Any valid server name |
Special considerations or limitations
Should account for SSRS installation prerequisites, configuration file changes, and version-specific options. Contributors should ensure proper error handling and support for both installation and removal.
