Description

Type: Distributed Requires CredSSP: No

The resource is able to provision, unprovision and configure the Word Automation Service Application. All settings that you can configure on the Service Application administration page are configurable using this resource.

Important: When you specify Ensure=Present, the Application Pool and DatabaseName parameters are required. When you specify Ensure=Absent, no other parameters are allowed (with the exception of Name, InstallAccount or PsDscRunAsCredential).

The default value for the Ensure parameter is Present. When not specifying this parameter, the service application is provisioned.

NOTE: If you don't specify the AddToDefault parameter, the new Word Automation service application won't be added to the default proxy group. Please use "AddToDefault = $true" to make sure it is added to the default proxy group.

Examples

Example 1

This example makes sure the service application exists and has a specific configuration

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

    node localhost {
        SPWordAutomationServiceApp WordAutomation
        {
            Name                            = "Word Automation Service Application"
            Ensure                          = "Present"
            ApplicationPool                 = "SharePoint Web Services"
            DatabaseName                    = "WordAutomation_DB"
            DatabaseServer                  = "SQLServer"
            SupportedFileFormats            = "docx", "doc", "mht", "rtf", "xml"

            MaximumMemoryUsage              = 100
            RecycleThreshold                = 100
            DisableBinaryFileScan           = $false
            ConversionProcesses             = 8
            JobConversionFrequency          = 15
            NumberOfConversionsPerProcess   = 12
            TimeBeforeConversionIsMonitored = 5
            MaximumConversionAttempts       = 2
            MaximumSyncConversionRequests   = 25
            KeepAliveTimeout                = 30
            MaximumConversionTime           = 300
            PsDscRunAsCredential            = $SetupAccount
        }
    }
}

Example 2

This example makes sure the service application exists and has a specific configuration. The new service application is also added to the default proxy group.

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

    node localhost {
        SPWordAutomationServiceApp WordAutomation
        {
            Name                            = "Word Automation Service Application"
            Ensure                          = "Present"
            ApplicationPool                 = "SharePoint Web Services"

            SupportedFileFormats            = "docx", "doc", "mht", "rtf", "xml"
            DisableEmbeddedFonts            = $false
            MaximumMemoryUsage              = 100
            RecycleThreshold                = 100
            DisableBinaryFileScan           = $false
            ConversionProcesses             = 8
            JobConversionFrequency          = 15
            NumberOfConversionsPerProcess   = 12
            TimeBeforeConversionIsMonitored = 5
            MaximumConversionAttempts       = 2
            MaximumSyncConversionRequests   = 25
            KeepAliveTimeout                = 30
            MaximumConversionTime           = 300
            AddToDefault                    = $true
            PsDscRunAsCredential            = $SetupAccount
        }
    }
}

Example 3

This example removes a word automation service app

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

    node localhost {
        SPWordAutomationServiceApp WordAutomation
        {
            Name                 = "Word Automation Service Application"
            Ensure               = "Absent"
            PsDscRunAsCredential = $SetupAccount
        }
    }
}
