MimSyncMaData

This resource is for MIM Sync MA Data.

The DSC resource configuration below validates the MIM Sync configuration by inspecting the XML below. TODO - include screen shots of the MIM Sync UI

DSC Configuration

This is a sample DSC configuration including just the Management Agent data resource type.

Configuration TestMimSyncMaData
