Azure DSC Extension: What is a "Modular Configurable Configuration Name"

Question

When setting up the Azure DSC extension for a virtual machine on the Azure Portal (ARM), we find the following form. What happens in the selected text field, what module does he ask to indicate? XPSDesiredStateConfiguration module? It didn’t work, and I can’t think of anything else.

The entry must match the regular expression: "^[^\\]+\\[^\\]+$"

Hovering over the information button gives us: "The module that defines the configuration function and the function in the format" Module \ Function ".

Answer 1

Here you refer to your configuration, so in your DSC file you have something like this in the MyDSC.ps1 file:

 Configuration PythonConf1 { bla-bla-bla } 

And in this field you will need to enter MyDSC.ps1\PythonCOnf1 . Additional information: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/virtual-machines-windows-extensions-dsc-overview#azure-portal-functionality
