Powershell DSC - MSFT_RoleResource

Question

Hello,

I have a problem related to MSFT_RoleResource, I have recovered a DSC script that you can find below:

Configuration InstallerSNMP {

Import-DscResource –ModuleName PSDesiredStateConfiguration

Node MonServeur {
WindowsFeature SNMPService
{
Name = "SNMP-Service"
Ensure = "Present"
}
}
}

The compilation in .mof works as shown below:

Once the compilation is finished I want to make an Azure policy, the compilation works as shown below ( it's very strange because when i compile the script i have error who say replace the PSDesiredStateConfiguration By PSDresource):

I want to test it afterwards but it sends me this error:

Can you help me?

Thank you so much

Hi @Nicolas VACCARO

Like all Windows software, DSC records errors and events in logs that can be viewed from the Event Viewer. Examining these logs can help you understand why a particular operation failed, and how to prevent failure in the future.

In Event Viewer, DSC events are in: Applications and Services Logs/Microsoft/Windows/Desired State Configuration

Maybe you can also try using the Get-DscConfigurationStatus cmdlet to get information about configuration status from a target node and see if are some issues there. You can dig into the object to discover details about the configuration run such as:

-All of the resources that failed
-Any resource that requested a reboot
-Meta-Configuration settings at the time of configuration run.
