Description
Improvement suggested:
- In the xSQLServerSetup-resource: it's nice to have a lot of parameters at hand for installing SQL Server, but one is missing in my opinion, namely "ConfigurationFile".
See the following article: http://www.colinsalmcorner.com/post/install-and-configure-sql-server-using-powershell-dsc
In this article the configuration-file of the SQL install-wizard is used to install SQL-server.
It would be nice if this resource could also work with this configuration-file. It is in fact suggested at MSDN as well: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd239405.aspx

Research direction
Start with the xSQLServerSetup resource and review the linked SQL Server configuration-file guidance. Determine how ConfigurationFile should integrate with the resource's existing installation parameters, then verify that an installation using a configuration file completes successfully.
