Description

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.

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