Examples

Example 1

This example shows how to deploy Excel Services to the local SharePoint farm.

Configuration Example 
{
    param(
        [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
        [PSCredential]
        $SetupAccount
    )
    Import-DscResource -ModuleName SharePointDsc

    node localhost {
        SPExcelServiceApp ExcelServices
        {
            Name            = "Excel Services Service Application"
            ApplicationPool = "SharePoint Service Applications"
            InstallAccount  = $SetupAccount
        }
    }
}

Example 2

This example shows how to remove Excel Services from the local SharePoint farm. Here application pool is a required parameter, but it is not actually used when removing a service app and as such can be ignored and set to any value.

Configuration Example 
{
    param(
        [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
        [PSCredential]
        $SetupAccount
    )
    Import-DscResource -ModuleName SharePointDsc

    node localhost {
        SPExcelServiceApp ExcelServices
        {
            Name            = "Excel Services Service Application"
            ApplicationPool = "n/a"
            Ensure          = "Absent"
            InstallAccount  = $SetupAccount
        }
    }
}
