 A future release of Ansible will make these checks case sensitive.

+The ``win_dsc`` module will now validate the input options for a DSC resource. In previous versions invalid options would be ignored but are now not.

+Starting in Ansible 2.8, the ``win_dsc`` module automatically validates the
+input options from Ansible with the DSC definition. This means Ansible will
+fail if the option name is incorrect, a mandatory option is not set, or the
+value is not a valid choice. When running Ansible with a verbosity level of 3
+or more (``-vvv``), the return value will contain the possible invocation
+options based on the ``resource_name`` specified. Here is an example of the

+task. Any ``*_password`` option will be masked in the output for security
+reasons, if there are any other sensitive module options, set ``no_log: True``
+on the task to stop all task output from being logged.

 Property Types

 CimInstance Type
 ++++++++++++++++
@ -144,13 +208,20 @@ For example, to define a ``[CimInstance]`` value in Ansible:
      Windows: yes

 In the above example, the CIM instance is a representation of the class

+`MSFT_xWebAuthenticationInformation <https://github.com/PowerShell/xWebAdministration/blob/dev/DSCResources/MSFT_xWebsite/MSFT_xWebsite.schema.mof>`_.
 This class accepts four boolean variables, ``Anonymous``, ``Basic``,
 ``Digest``, and ``Windows``. The keys to use in a ``[CimInstance]`` depend on
 the class it represents. Please read through the documentation of the resource
 to determine the keys that can be used and the types of each key value. The
 class definition is typically located in the ``<resource name>.schema.mof``.

+HashTable Type
++++++++++++++
+A ``[HashTable]`` object is also a dictionary but does not have a strict set of
+keys that can/need to be defined. Like a ``[CimInstance]``, define it like a
+normal dictionary value in YAML. A ``[HashTable]]`` is defined with
+``EmbeddedInstance("MSFT_KeyValuePair")`` in a DSC resource MOF definition.

 When defining a ``[CimInstance[]]``, be sure to read the resource documentation
 to find out what keys to use in the definition.

+DateTime
++++++++
+A ``[DateTime]`` object is a DateTime string representing the date and time in
+the `ISO 8601 <https://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime>`_ date time format. The
+value for a ``[DateTime]`` field should be quoted in YAML to ensure the string
+is properly serialized to the Windows host. Here is an example of how to define
+a ``[DateTime]`` value in Ansible:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
+
+    # As UTC-0 (No timezone)
+    DateTime: '2019-02-22T13:57:31.2311892+00:00'

+All the values above are equal to a UTC date time of February 22nd 2019 at
+1:57pm with 31 seconds and 2311892 milliseconds.

 Run As Another User
 -------------------
 By default, DSC runs each resource as the SYSTEM account and not the account
 that Ansible use to run the module. This means that resources that are dynamically
 loaded based on a user profile, like the ``HKEY_CURRENT_USER`` registry hive,
 will be loaded under the ``SYSTEM`` profile. The parameter
-`PsDscRunAsCredential`` is a parameter that can be set for every DSC resource
+``PsDscRunAsCredential`` is a parameter that can be set for every DSC resource
 force the DSC engine to run under a different account. As
 ``PsDscRunAsCredential`` has a type of ``PSCredential``, it is defined with the
 ``_username`` and ``_password`` suffix.
