On Wednesday September 30th SharePointDsc v4.3 was released. This version contains a lot of bugfixes that were discovered over the last period. 

 

Currently we are working on adding more logging to the event log, for example in case of errors being generated. This will be added in the next version. 

 

You can find the SharePointDsc v4.3 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.
