The summer break is over in the Northern Hemisphere, so it is back to work! Yesterday a new version of SharePointDsc was released: Back to work with SharePointDsc v4.8.
This release contains a new resource to manage the web application HTTP Throttling Monitor settings and fixes a lot of issues discovered in SharePointDsc over the past weeks. One major issue that was fixed existed for a while now, but was caused by an issue in SharePoint itself: When creating site collections immediately after creating your farm, the site collection creation could fail with the following error message "Invalid field name. {cbb92da4-fd46-4c7d-af6c-3128c2a5576e}". Recently we discovered a workaround, which is now included in this version and has been tested for SharePoint 2016, 2019 and Subscription Edition (and will probably also work in SharePoint 2013, but was not tested).
You can find the SharePointDsc v4.8 in the PowerShell Gallery!
NOTE: We can always use additional help in making SharePointDsc even better. So if you are interested in contributing to SharePointDsc, check-out the open issues in the issue list, check-out this post in our Wiki or leave a comment on this blog post.
