I am having a problem with the update-dscconfiguration. I can register my node to the pullserver but it won’t get the configurationfile. I think this is caused by the same issue of update-dscconfiguration with the following error:  
The attempt to ‘get an action’ for AgentId 153B0A2D-2A68-11E7-9662-000C2936433B from server URL [https://d](https://d)  
sc-server///PsDscPullserver.svc/Nodes(AgentId=‘153B0A2D-2A68-11E7-9662-000C2936433B’)/GetDscAction  
failed with server error ‘ResourceNotFound(404)’.  
For further details see the server error message below or the DSC debug event log with ID 4339.  
ServerErrorMessage:- ‘The assigned configuration ‘Webservice’ is not found in the pull server  
configuration repository.’

I’m Working with a HTTPS pullserver with WMF5.

Pullserver script:  
Configuration PullServer {  
param  
(  
[string]$computerName = “localhost”,  
[ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()]  
[string]$certificateThumbPrint,  
[ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()]  
[string]$RegistrationKey  
)  
Import-DSCResource -ModuleName xPSDesiredStateConfiguration  
Import-DSCResource -ModuleName PSDesiredStateConfiguration

```
    # Load the Windows Server DSC Service feature
    Node $computerName 
    {
      WindowsFeature DSCServiceFeature
    {
      Ensure = 'Present'
      Name = 'DSC-Service'
    }

    # Use the DSC Resource to simplify deployment of the web service
    xDSCWebService PSDSCPullServer
    {
      Ensure = 'Present'
      EndpointName = 'PSDSCPullServer'
      Port = 443
      PhysicalPath = "$env:SYSTEMDRIVE\inetpub\wwwroot\PSDSCPullServer"
      CertificateThumbPrint = $certificateThumbPrint
      ModulePath = "$env:PROGRAMFILES\WindowsPowerShell\DscService\Modules"
      ConfigurationPath = "$env:PROGRAMFILES\WindowsPowerShell\DscService\Configuration"
      State = 'Started'
      DependsOn = '[WindowsFeature]DSCServiceFeature'
      UseSecurityBestPractices = $false
    }

    File RegistrationKeyFile
    {
    Ensure = 'Present'
    Type = 'File'
    DestinationPath = "$env:ProgramFiles\WindowsPowerShell\DscService\RegistrationKeys.txt"
    Contents = $RegistrationKey
    }
  }

```

}

#$guid = [guid]::NewGuid()  
$guid = ‘regkey’  
$cert = Get-ChildItem Cert:\LocalMachine\My

In your Example it seems that you use a configuration names in your LCM Script.  
So make sure that on your pull server your mof and checksum have the same name like your configuration names.

In /dsc/configurations/, you should have this files Webservice.mof and .checksum .

Thank’s

Hello Arnold,

I got the folder ‘Webservice’ located at C:\Program Files\WindowsPowershell\DscService\Configuration.  
This folder contains both ‘Webservice.mof’ and the ‘Webservice.mof.checksum’ file.

I can’t seem to find the solution, Thanks in advance!

copy the content of your folder and paste them directly in C:\Program Files\WindowsPowershell\DscService\Configuration

It should work
