PowerShell Desired State Configuration Simple example - Enabling WindowsFeature
Example
configuration EnableIISFeature
{
node localhost
{
WindowsFeature IIS
{
Ensure = “Present”
Name = “Web-Server”
}
}
}
If you run this configuration in Powershell (EnableIISFeature), it will produce a localhost.mof file. This is the "compiled" configuration you can run on a machine.
To test the DSC configuration on your localhost, you can simply invoke the following:
Start-DscConfiguration -ComputerName localhost -Wait
