The following command can be used to determine if there has been configuration drift on a system:
Test-DscConfiguration –CimSession $session The command only returns true or false. Is there a way to retrieve a list of what those differences are?
- As I understand it, trying to take an existing server and back-port it into a configuration-management regime is usually a difficult task. Might be easier to simply build a new environment using DSC and then migrate your apps/sites/whatever into it.mfinni– mfinni2014-04-15 18:31:20 +00:00Commented Apr 15, 2014 at 18:31
- It was more about determining why a server no longer matched the DSC configuration. Perhaps someone loaded or removed something from the server, etc.Brettski– Brettski2014-04-15 18:52:45 +00:00Commented Apr 15, 2014 at 18:52

Unfortunately, not at this time. You can run Test-DscConfiguration with the -Verbose switch and the verbose messages may tell you what is not in compliance. You should also be able to run Get-DscConfiguration and compare the existing state to the configuration document to see what differs, but there is no nice object structure with the components out of compliance.
