Possible to Build a DSC Package for O365 Apps for Enterprise?

Question

Hello,

I have recently been learning how to use DSC to deploy and monitor various softwares, settings, logging, etc... However, when I try to deploy Office365 en proplus (365 Apps for Enterprise) Start-DscConfiguration throws an exception on the ProductId attribute:

PowerShell DSC resource MSFT_PackageResource  failed to execute Set-TargetResource functionality with error message: 

Package from (PATH REDACTED) was installed, but the specified ProductId 

and/or Name does not match package details 

    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (:) [], CimException

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ProviderOperationExecutionFailure

    + PSComputerName        : REDACTED

Here is the configuration I have built:

Configuration OfficeInstallTest{

    Import-DscResource –ModuleName "PSDesiredStateConfiguration"

    [string]$NetworkPath = "PATH REDACTED"



    Node $env:ComputerName{

        Package Office365{

            Ensure = "Present"

            Name = "Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise - en-us"

            Path = "$($NetworkPath)\Office.exe"

            ProductId = "90160000-008C-0409-1000-0000000FF1CE"

            Arguments = "/configure $($NetworkPath)\Configuration.xml"

        }

    }

}



OfficeInstallTest -OutputPath "c:\DSC\OfficeInstallTest"

I'm pretty new at this and any help would be greatly appreciated. I am using an Office Deployment Configuration Tool generated .exe specific to my organization for the Office install.
