7. DSCPullServerAdmin An Admin module for DSC PullServer Database management
This is your opening. Now the stage is yours!
Ben Gelens

8. This Session
Learn how to make use of DSCPullServerAdmin for Pull Server Management
Understand why you would want to make use of DSCPullServerAdmin to migrate an existing Pull Server over to a SQL based Pull Server
Be able to migrate data to another Pull Server supported database type
Please invest some time to reconsider your session: what is it that audience can get out of it? Try and be as precise as you can. If you are showing solutions, then focus on “how to”. If you present about a general technology, you’ll want to stick to “Be able to” or “Understand why/how”.

bgelens

11. Why did I start doing this?
Started as C# project in June 2017
targeting edb interaction for maintenance tasks
Getting data out of edb, mainly reports as REST API is not admin friendly
Removing old reporting data (keeping edb small)
Changing configurationNames like in Azure Automation DSC
Learning to code cmdlets in C#
bgelens

12. Why did I start doing this?
Windows Server 1803 / 2019 brought SQL support to DSC PullServer
Moved to Script module started from June 2018
Easier for external contributors
I needed a way to migrate data from edb to SQL based PullServer (existing environment -> new scalable / highly available architecture)

13. How does it support all these DB types?
MDB:
Only works on Windows PowerShell
Requires type: System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection
Need to install Microsoft Access Database Engine 2016 x64 us/download/details.aspx?id=54920
This will add Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.16.0 as a source provider

14. How does it support all these DB types?
Works on Windows PowerShell and PowerShell 6+ on Windows
Requires type: Microsoft.Isam.Esent.Interop.Api (Shipped as part of Windows, Windows only)
SQL:
Works on Windows PowerShell and PowerShell 6+ on any platform
Requires type: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection

DSCPullServerAdmin makes it easy to manage Pull Server managed nodes by interacting with the Pull Server Database
It supports:
MDB (Windows PowerShell + Access DB Engine)
EDB (Windows PowerShell and PowerShell Core on Windows)
SQL (Windows PowerShell and PowerShell Core xPlat)
