# Before you can get started, you'll have to install the service it self with Web Platform installer.
# A direct link to binary it self can be found on the page from reference link.

# Prerequisites
# 1. Make sure you have SQL Express installed (at least 2012)
# 2. Make sure you have installed the service it self (it won't start until configured)
#     You can verify this by looking for 'Windows Fabric Host Service' amongst windows services.

# Creates a securestring object, which will be used to create a local farm
$mycert = ConvertTo-SecureString -string "CoolCertKey1" -Force -AsPlainText

# Creates a new local ServiceBus farm
New-SBFarm -SBFarmDBConnectionString 'Data Source=localhost\sqlexpress;Integrated Security=True' -CertificateAutoGenerationKey $mycert

# It's highly recommended to run this 'Windows Fabric Host Service' as your current user, and thus using password for your 
# current is required for registering a new ServiceBusHost
$pass = ConvertTo-SecureString '<your-local-user-password>' -Force -AsPlainText

# Adds your local machine as a new host into earler created farm, this relies both your password and 
# earlier created certificate
Add-SBHost -SBFarmDBConnectionString 'Data Source=localhost\sqlexpress;Initial Catalog=SbManagementDB;Integrated Security=True' -RunAsPassword $pass -CertificateAutoGenerationKey $mycert

# Creates a new ServiceBus Namespace
# Which account account name you're suppose to use, can be found by running: Get-SBFarm
# and it should be listed under 'RunAsAccount', mine for an example is 'emil-b3'
New-SBNamespace -Name 'ServiceBusDefaultNamespace' -AddressingScheme 'Path' -ManageUsers '<local account which you login with>';

# If you want to list namespaces (all available) again, you can do so by running this command
Get-SBNamespace

# Get ServiceBus Client configuration by calling this command
# Example from earlier commands would be: Get-SBClientConfiguration -Namespaces 'ServiceBusDefaultNamespace';
Get-SBClientConfiguration -Namespaces '<ServiceBusNameSpace>';
