my DSC node is not pulling the DSC config from my SMB DSC server. Get-DSCConfigurationStatus says the pull was successfull but Get-DSCConfiguration remains the same(old config).
Im testing it with a HelloWorld config where a file is created on the C drive. When i delete the file Get-DSCConfiguration says “Enusre: absent” but when it pulls the new config, it should be “ensure: present”. I have no errors or anything else. Idk why it isn’t pulling correctly.
My DSC LCM config:

So it basicaly has to pull a config again and apply it, instead it keeps the old config, refuses to pull. But the old config is wrong… i dont get it…
