Error in example 3

[ThierryBT]

Hi and sorry for my Funny English,
The example 3 is bad.
Configuration SecureTigerTeamSrouce
{
Import-DscResource -ModuleName 'PSDesiredStateConfiguration'
Node TigerTeamSource.Contoso.Com {
Group TigerTeamAdmins
{
GroupName = 'TigerTeamAdmins'
Ensure = 'Absent'
MembersToInclude = "Contoso\JerryG"
}}}

To delete user, you must write

Configuration SecureTigerTeamSrouce
{
Import-DscResource -ModuleName 'PSDesiredStateConfiguration'

Node TigerTeamSource.Contoso.Com {
Group TigerTeamAdmins
{
GroupName = 'TigerTeamAdmins'
Ensure = 'Present'
MembersToExclude = "Contoso\JerryG"
}
}
}

The current example delete the group.

Regards
Thierry

@mgreenegit Does this make sense to you?

Without testing I think @ThierryBT is correct. The example is removing the whole group rather than a specific user. I think the following should be the correct syntax (again... without testing):

Configuration SecureTigerTeamSrouce 
{
    Import-DscResource -ModuleName 'PSDesiredStateConfiguration'
    
    Node TigerTeamSource.Contoso.Com {
    Group TigerTeamAdmins
    {
        GroupName        = 'TigerTeamAdmins'   
        Ensure           = 'Present'             
        MembersToExclude = "Contoso\JerryG"
    }
    }
}

Edit
I just re-read the first post again. His example is a match of mine.

Anyway, I just ran a test and indeed the current example is very destructive. It deletes the whole group rather than just the one user. Using the above is the correct syntax. I'll create a PR to correct this.
