Other useful modules for SharePoint DSC configurations - dsccommunity/SharePointDsc GitHub Wiki

When working with SharePoint servers with PowerShell DSC, there are a number of other DSC modules which contain useful resources which can further assist with the automation of your environments.

xWebAdministration

This module contains resources which are responsible for managing IIS, which obviously play a key role in the front end server role of a SharePoint farm. These resources can manage site configuring for tasks such as bindings, or remove the default IIS sites and app pools to reduce clutter.
