Checksum for configuration does not match

Hello everyone,

I have ommited my hostnames

I have 2 nodes which i am trying to update the config for.

I created new HostName.MOF and Hostname.MOF.CHECKSUM files and uploaded to the PULL server for both nodes

\PullServer\c$\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\DscService\Configuration

I ran:

Update-DscConfiguration -Wait -Verbose

Which detects a new checkSum and starts getconfiguration to PULL server but then fails:

PS C:\Windows\system32> Update-DscConfiguration -Wait -Verbose

uiredConfigurationChecks,‘className’ = MSFT_DSCLocalConfigurationManager,‘namespaceName’ = root/Mic

The download manager is set to NULL?

I checked the Event logs on the PULL server:

“Microsoft-Windows-PowerShell-DesiredStateConfiguration-PullServer/Operational”

 

The Agent ID is registered on the Pull server

 

Any advise would be great

Out of interest, how is the path to your DSC Pull Server service?
Did you ‘customize’ the endpoint name/uri? (I’ve heard of an LCM bug in very specific case from Ben Gelens).
