Adding another server to replication group via xDFS

DSC
1

All,

I have three servers, all domain members, that need to be a part of the same DFS replication group. Two servers are already in the replication group, but I would like to add the third automatically via DSC using the xdfs module. I can add the server via powershell like so:

Add-DfsrMember -ComputerName server3 -GroupName storage
Add-DfsrConnection -DestinationComputerName server3 -GroupName storage -SourceComputerName server1 -DomainName domain.com
Add-DfsrConnection -DestinationComputerName server3 -GroupName storage -SourceComputerName server2 -DomainName domain.com
Set-DfsrMembership -GroupName "storage" -FolderName "storage" -ComputerName server3 -ContentPath D:\storage

My DSC code is like this but doesn’t work:

        xDFSReplicationGroup storage
        {
            GroupName = 'storage'
            Ensure = 'Present'
            Members = 'server1.domain.com','server2.domain.com','server3.domain.com'
            Folders = 'storage'
            PSDSCRunAsCredential = $Credential
            DependsOn = '[WindowsFeature]RSATDFSMgmt'
        }

        xDFSReplicationGroupConnection storage1
        {
            GroupName = 'storage'
            Ensure = 'Present'
            SourceComputerName = 'server1.domain.com'
            DestinationComputerName = 'server3.domain.com'
            PSDSCRunAsCredential = $Credential
        }

        xDFSReplicationGroupConnection storage2
        {
            GroupName = 'storage'
            Ensure = 'Present'
            SourceComputerName = 'server2.domain.com'
            DestinationComputerName = 'server3.domain.com'
            PSDSCRunAsCredential = $Credential
        }

        xDFSReplicationGroupFolder storagefolder
        {
            GroupName = 'storage'
            FolderName = 'storage'
            PSDSCRunAsCredential = $Credential
            DependsOn = '[xDFSReplicationGroup]storage'
        }

        xDFSReplicationGroupMembership server3
        {
            GroupName = 'storage'
            FolderName = 'storage'
            ComputerName = 'server3.domain.com'
            ContentPath = 'd:\storage'
            PSDSCRunAsCredential = $Credential
            DependsOn = '[xDFSReplicationGroupFolder]storageFolder'
        }

However, I can not seem to follow how to do this with DSC. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the help, but the code actually works. I guess AWS didn’t want it to work that day. Oh well.
