PowerShell Desired State Configuration Importing resources for use in DSC
Example
Before you can use a resource in a configuration, you must explicitly import it. Just having it installed on your computer, will not let you use the resource implicitly.
Import a resource by using Import-DscResource .
Example showing how to import the PSDesiredStateConfiguration resource and the File resource.
Configuration InstallPreReqs
{
param(); # params to DSC goes here.
Import-DscResource PSDesiredStateConfiguration
File CheckForTmpFolder {
Type = 'Directory'
DestinationPath = 'C:\Tmp'
Ensure = "Present"
}
}
Note: In order for DSC Resources to work, you must have the modules installed on the target machines when running the configuration. If you don't have them installed, the configuration will fail.
