Ensure DSC Resource
Ensures the configuration of a specified PowerShell DSC Resource.
Script usage:
Ensure-DscResource( [ConfigurationKey: <text>], Name: <text>, [Module: <text>], [Properties: <%(key1: value1, ...)>] );
This operation may be prefixed with PowerShell::
, although this is a built-in namespace and isn't really necessary.
Arguments:
Name | Format | Script Usage | Usage Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Otter configuration key | text | ConfigurationKey | The name of the DSC property which will be used as the Otter configuration key for the server. If this is not specified, the "Name" property is used. |
☆ Resource | text | Name | This argument is required. |
Module | text | Module | |
Properties | %(key1: value1, ...) | Properties | DSC property hashtable as an OtterScript map. Example: %(DestinationPath: C:\hdars\1000.txt, Contents: test file ensured) |
Note: An argument may be explicitly converted to an integral type by prefixing the value with [type::<typeName>], where <typeName> is one of: int, uint, long, ulong, double, decimal. Normally this conversion is performed automatically and this is not necessary.
