This was done in order to have the ability to link the same GPO to multiple OUs, which is a valid use-case. However, this will not allow you to link a GPO to the same OU multiple times.

I can. Should the descriptions be moved from the **README.md** file into each individual schema.mof file to avoid duplication of information?

Consistency is good if it leads to easy understanding. I'm also not a fan of Target, but I don't have a better suggestion in this case.

Currently, they should be in both places. We should have a way of generating the markdown snippet based on the schema, or a resource class, but I don't think this exists. The MOF is what provides runtime help.

I don't find the parameters to be consistent among the GPO CMDlets. I would prefer to be more consistent here. Also, target is imperative, we should try to avoid it.

I didn't say that you could actually link them multiple times. This design could allow you to specify a link for a GPO multiple times. This issue leads to convergence issues. I'll give an example. Say you have a GPO named MyGPO, with an GUID of `e9958209-527d-4b46-8874-ed1e43b1f567`.

GPOLink l1
{
    Identity = 'MyGPO'
    Target = 'MyTarget'
    LinkEnabled = 'Yes'
}
GPOLink l2
{
    Identity = 'e9958209-527d-4b46-8874-ed1e43b1f567'
    Target = 'MyTarget'
    LinkEnabled = 'No'
}

Now you have allowed the user to specify a configuration that will never converge. The same link is enabled then disabled in the same configuration, every time you run the configuration.

Now you have allowed the user to specify a configuration that will never converge. The same link is enabled then disabled in the same configuration, every time you run the configuration.

I see. Is your recommendation to replace the Identity property with either Name or Guid (I'd go with Name) and remove the IdentityType property? I'm ok with that. A separate resource to link by Guid could be created if needed.

Comments from Reviewable

TravisEz13 · 2016-08-25T18:44:31Z

Yes, I'd recommend removing IdentityType. I think GUID is better long term, but Name is better for usability. I don't have a strong preference.
