DSC does not continue after required reboot.

DSC
1

So I am trying to bring up a build machine using Powershell DSC 4.

The issue is that the DSC does not continue after the VM has successfully rebooted, it just stops:

VERBOSE: [VM1]:                            [[Package]MicrosoftAzureAuthoringTools-x64] Package has been installed
VERBOSE: [VM1]:                            [[Package]MicrosoftAzureAuthoringTools-x64] Package configuration finished
VERBOSE: [VM1]: LCM:  [ End    Set      ]  [[Package]MicrosoftAzureAuthoringTools-x64]  in 0.9840 seconds.
VERBOSE: [VM1]: LCM:  [ End    Resource ]  [[Package]MicrosoftAzureAuthoringTools-x64]
VERBOSE: [VM1]:                            [] A reboot is scheduled to progress further. Configuration will be continued after the reboot.
VERBOSE: [VM1]:                            [] Consistency check completed.

ReturnValue    : 0
PSComputerName : VM1

VERBOSE: Operation 'Invoke CimMethod' complete.
ERRORCOUNT:  + 0
Transcript stopped, output file is C:\daily.log

And here is my local config settings

LocalConfigurationManager {
			ConfigurationMode = 'ApplyAndMonitor'
                       ActionAfterReboot = 'ContinueConfiguration'
			ConfigurationID = $guid
			RefreshMode = 'Pull'
			RebootNodeIfNeeded = $True
			DownloadManagerName = 'DscFileDownloadManager'
			DownloadManagerCustomData = @{
				SourcePath = '\\server1\CleanroomBuildAssets'
			}

out of curiosity, are all your dependson flags set? I’m not 100% certain but I suspect it may be a combination of the lack of a dependson and the fact that you are using “applyandmonitor”.

Basically I’m curious if the problem is that after reboot the configuration is set as “done” because no modules are specifically set to occur afterwords and the fact you are set to monitor and not correct means future pulls won’t ever update the “half install”.
