WindowsEventLog MaximumSizeInBytes needs IsEnabled Parameter

[ChristophHannappel]

The Ressource WindowsEventLog doesn't do anything with MaximumSizeInBytes if the Parameter IsEnabled is not set.
I think that behavior is based on the GUI, where the MaximumSizeInBytes Control gets deactivated if you disable the log.
I'd be nice if the Documentation would state, that you need the Parameter IsEnabled set to $true in order to use MaximumSizeInBytes.

This Ressouce does nothing:

        WindowsEventLog 'Microsoft SharePoint 2019\Operational'
        {
            LogName =  'Microsoft-SharePoint Products-Shared/Operational'
            MaximumSizeInBytes = 10240KB
        }

But this does:

        WindowsEventLog 'Microsoft SharePoint 2019\Operational'
        {
            LogName =  'Microsoft-SharePoint Products-Shared/Operational'
            IsEnabled = $true
            MaximumSizeInBytes = 10240KB
        }

Hi @ChristophHannappel - thanks for raising this and good point. This should be documented and also an example should be included. I've marked as Help Wanted for now because I'm completely snowed under till beginning of Dec.

I can help :) Since the knowledge is fresh. This is my first time, should i try a pull request on the wiki md file? Or does it work different?

Hi @ChristophHannappel - would love the help. Just submit a PR against the README.MD in the source\DSCResources\DSC_WindowsEventLog folder and add a new example to the source\Examples\Resources folder. The Wiki gets updated automatically from those files.

I'm working on another issue with WindowsEventLog (#355) so I'll update the README.MD to include this when I submit the PR.

@ChristophHannappel I submitted the PR and waiting for the code review process. I rewrote part of the code so you won't need to configure 'IsEnabled' in order to achieve what you're looking for. Your first resource example will work with this release.
