cMDTBuildPersistentDrive

cMDTBuildPersistentDrive is a DscResource that enables management of MDT persistent drives with lifecycle management for MDT. These folders can be managed from a pull server according to Desired State Configuration principles.

Available parameters:

• [Ensure] - Present/Absent
• [Name] - Name of drive
• [Path] - MDT path
• [Description] - A description of the drive
• [NetworkPath] - Network share name of the MDT persistent drive

The DscResource will manage MDT folders according to the following principle:

• Verify status present or absent
• If present:
  • Check if the defined persistent drive exist in MDT
  • If the persistent drive does not exist it will be created
• If absent:
  • The persistent drive will be removed

Desired State Configuration job example:

cMDTBuildPersistentDrive DeploymentPSDrive {
    Ensure = "Present"
    Name = $PSDriveName
    Path = $PSDrivePath
    Description = "MDT Build Share"
    NetworkPath = "\\$ComputerName\DeploymentShare$"
}
