Hi @lucidqdreams - are you referring to ComputerManagementDsc resource specifically or DSC as a general pattern? Perhaps you could provide a bit more context and we could provide additional guidance or references?

We were trying to use this in conjunction with an ARM template. Perhaps my comment is more related to the use case with ARM templates and packaging up these files to use with Azure deployments. We did get it working, but there are a lot of files in the root directory that seem unrelated to running DSC configuration. Downloading this from the gallery my be simpler but this was a bit of a muddle to get through we what we need was just a check for a pending reboot.

Hi @lucidqdreams - it definitely can be a fairly intensive process to get set up. But once set up it should be OK.

Installing this module isn't very complicated...

Install-Module ComputerManagementDsc

Exactly what do you feel is the issue at hand?
