I'm having an issue where the .mof file doesn't get generated when using a composite resource in it.The directory gets created fine and no errors are shown. It might be a simple issue to some fresh eyes, but I'm not seeing it :)

The composite resource gets recognized fine and as I said, no errors are shown. I'd appreciate any help!

Here are my configuration files:

composite resource

Configuration OfficeServer { PARAM ( [string]$IPAddress ) Import-DscResource -Modulename XNetworking, PSDesiredStateConfiguration { xIPAddress IPAddress { IPAddress = $IPAddress InterfaceAlias = "Ethernet" DefaultGateway = "192.168.10.1" SubnetMask = 24 AddressFamily = "IPV4" } xDNSServerAddress DNSServer { Address = "192.168.10.44" InterfaceAlias = "Ethernet" AddressFamily = "IPV4" } } }

the configuration to generate the .mof

Configuration test { Import-DscResource -modulename CommonConfig Node localhost { OfficeServer test { IPAddress = "192.168.10.92" } } }

  • First, can you show us the folder structure of the module containing the composite config? Second, you might try making your $IPAddress parameter mandatory. I recall an issue I had with a custom resource where I couldn't use it properly without at least one mandatory/key parameter. Commented Sep 17, 2014 at 14:32
  • One other thing, show us how you're calling the config. After executing the Configuration definition you should then be calling the configuration as a function: test -OutputPath .\put\mof\here Commented Sep 17, 2014 at 17:40

Thanks for the answers all, turned out I just had a pair of curly brackets too much in the composite resource. couldn't see it until I had some sleep :)

working version of the composite resource

Configuration OfficeServer { PARAM ( [string]$IPAddress ) Import-DscResource -Modulename XNetworking, PSDesiredStateConfiguration xIPAddress IPAddress { IPAddress = $IPAddress InterfaceAlias = "Ethernet" DefaultGateway = "192.168.10.1" SubnetMask = 24 AddressFamily = "IPV4" } xDNSServerAddress DNSServer { Address = "192.168.10.44" InterfaceAlias = "Ethernet" AddressFamily = "IPV4" } }
