I am writing the PowerShell scripts to create network in Azure. I just checked the dsc version got updated from 1.5 to 1.6 and 1.7 in last two days. Due to which I am getting error within my scripts.
The dsc gets applied properly but in the management portal it errs out with the following message -
Error enabling the DSC Extension: Cannot process argument transformation on parameter 'ConfigurationFunction'. Cannot convert the "System.Object[]" value of type "System.Object[]" to type "System.Management.Automation.ConfigurationInfo".
The script is as follows -
Configuration DomainControllerVM
{
Node localhost
{
Script DomainControllerVM
{
SetScript = {
$Pass = 'Test'
$credpass = ConvertTo-SecureString -String $Pass -AsPlainText -Force
Install-WindowsFeature AD-Domain-Services -IncludeManagementTools
Install-ADDSForest -DomainName corp.contoso.com -DatabasePath "C:\NTDS" -SysvolPath "C:\SYSVOL" -LogPath "C:\Logs" -SafeModeAdministratorPassword $credpass -Force
#insert password twice when prompted
#Log to the machine using CORP\[Local administrator account name]
Set-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "File and Printer Sharing (Echo Request - ICMPv4-In)" -enabled True
winrm quickconfig
netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="remote desktop" new enable=Yes
}
TestScript = {
return $false
}
GetScript = { <# This must return a hash table #> }
}
}
}
Set-StrictMode -Off
DomainControllerVM
Start-DscConfiguration -Force -Wait -Verbose -Path .\DomainControllerVM
The log is as follows -
