Description

Could an additional resource be created or incorporated into the [MSFT_xSQLServerSetup] to perform the following configuration actions:
1.Set the number of Error Logs
TSQL: EXEC xp_instance_regwrite N'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE', N'Software\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\MSSQLServer', N'NumErrorLogs', REG_DWORD, ?
2. Disable the Named Pipes Protocol
3. Resize the TempDB ... set the number of tempdb files based on number of CPUs...?
4. Create a resource that would allow for the creation and configuration of MSSQL Agent Jobs
5. Modify and enforce the 'AuditLevel'
TSQL: EXEC xp_instance_regwrite N'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE', N'Software\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\MSSQLServer', N'AuditLevel', REG_DWORD, 3

Research direction

Start with the MSFT_xSQLServerSetup resource and review how its current configuration scope relates to the five requested areas: error logs, named pipes, TempDB, Agent jobs, and AuditLevel. Before implementation, clarify whether these should be separate resources or additions and define completion criteria for each configuration action.
