Hi, I’m trying to understand how to explore what is available for DSC resources. What I mean by that is if I’m in the PowerShell console and I want to do something with a service and I don’t know what is available I just type "Get-Help service and I get a nice list of all the CmdLets with service in the name. Oh, I want to call “Get-Service”, what does that take? Let me type “Get-Help Get-Service -Full”. Boom, everything I could possibly want to know about every parameter, types, and examples. There’s even a nice link to the online version.
Enter DSC. I want to create a configuration script that makes sure service XYZ is there. I happen to know there is a MS provided Service resource but other than that, no ideas on what parameters it takes. How/Where do I figure that out? What I love about PS is how easy the help system is. I have no clue how to do this for the DSC resources. I’ve just started looking into DSC so I’ve probably just missed it, but I sure hope there is a way to figure this out.
