Manage IP addresses with the DSC_IPAddress resource
main
The DSC_IPAddress resource allows you to control and manage a node's IP address configuration. It is commonly used to set static IP addresses, often in conjunction with disabling DHCP to ensure a consistent network configuration.

Manage DNS Server addresses with DSC_DnsServerAddress
main
The DSC_DnsServerAddress resource is used to control and manage the DNS Server address(es) configured on a node. Use this resource to ensure specific DNS servers are present or to enforce a specific set of DNS server configurations on a target system.

Enable or disable RDMA on a network adapter using DSC_NetAdapterRdma
main
The DSC_NetAdapterRdma resource allows you to manage the RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) state on a specific network adapter. You can use this resource to ensure RDMA is either enabled or disabled across your infrastructure via Desired State Configuration (DSC).
https://github.com/dsccommunity/networkingdsc/blob/main/source/DSCResources/DSC_NetAdapterRdma/README.MD
Manage DNS Client NRPT rules with DSC_DnsClientNrptRule
main
The DSC_DnsClientNrptRule resource is used to manage Name Resolution Policy Table (NRPT) rules on a Windows node. NRPT rules allow you to control how DNS queries are handled based on the namespace, such as directing specific domain queries to specific DNS servers.
https://github.com/dsccommunity/networkingdsc/blob/main/source/DSCResources/DSC_DnsClientNrptRule/README.MD
Use the DSC_Route resource to manage static routes
main
The DSC_Route resource is used to control and manage static routes on a specific network interface for a node. Use this resource to ensure that specific routing paths are present or absent on a target system.
https://github.com/dsccommunity/networkingdsc/blob/main/source/DSCResources/DSC_Route/README.MD
Control global DNS client settings with DSC_DnsClientGlobalSetting
main
The DSC_DnsClientGlobalSetting resource is used to manage and enforce global DNS client settings on a Windows node. This allows you to configure how the DNS client behaves across the entire system.

Configure internet proxy settings with DSC_ProxySettings
main
The DSC_ProxySettings resource is used to manage internet proxy settings for either the local machine or a specific user account.
To determine the scope of the configuration, use the Target parameter.
https://github.com/dsccommunity/networkingdsc/blob/main/source/DSCResources/DSC_ProxySettings/README.md
Use the DSC_NetworkTeamInterface resource to manage network team interfaces
main
The DSC_NetworkTeamInterface resource is used to manage the membership of network interfaces within a specific network team. Use this resource to ensure that specific network interfaces are correctly assigned to a designated network team.
https://github.com/dsccommunity/networkingdsc/blob/main/source/DSCResources/DSC_NetworkTeamInterface/README.MD
Manage Receive Side Scaling (RSS) with NetAdapterRss
main
The NetAdapterRss DSC resource allows you to enable or disable Receive Side Scaling (RSS) on a specific network adapter.
Important Note: Not all network adapters support RSS. If you attempt to configure RSS on an adapter that does not support it, the resource will throw an exception stating that the network adapter was not found.
https://github.com/dsccommunity/networkingdsc/blob/main/source/DSCResources/DSC_NetAdapterRss/README.MD
Use the DSC_NetAdapterBinding resource to manage network interface bindings
main
The DSC_NetAdapterBinding resource is used to manage the association between a network interface (adapter) and its transport or filters. You can use this resource to either bind or unbind specific transport or filter components to a designated network interface.
https://github.com/dsccommunity/networkingdsc/blob/main/source/DSCResources/DSC_NetAdapterBinding/README.MD
Manage network adapter state with DSC_NetAdapterState
main
The DSC_NetAdapterState resource is used to ensure a specific network adapter is either enabled or disabled on a target system. This is useful for controlling the operational state of network interfaces via Desired State Configuration (DSC).
