Andrew Pruski shows how to use Pester to audit SQL Server configuration settings:
One Pester test running!
What I like about this is that it can be easily dropped into a job scheduler (e.g.- Jenkins) and then you’ve got a way to routinely check (and correct) all the configuration settings of the SQL instances that you monitor.
Pester would not have been my first thought for configuration checking, but it does serve as another useful option.
