I am trying to install DSC Module on a basic Windows 2019 Server. It just fails silently. This is a brand new servers that are failing
```auto
[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12
if(!(get-packageprovider -name nuget)){
Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -RequiredVersion 2.8.5.201 -Force -Scope CurrentUser
}
Set-PSRepository -Name 'PsGallery' -InstallationPolicy Trusted
Install-Module -Name NetworkingDsc -RequiredVersion 8.1.0 -AllowClobber -Repository PSGallery -Verbose
```

use `-ErrorAction Stop` for all the cmdlets. It should fail, else its wont be easy to find the reason.

I don’t know how it looks for you but for me it does not look like code at all. 😉
Do you see any difference between one of your code blocks and the code block @monterey610 posted in his initial question? 😉 😉

No.
His looks like correctly formated code including syntax highlighting and indentation
And yours just does not.

@dan-iverson I’ve formatted the json content. The best way to format is , once the code is pasted/typed while posting, select all the code and click on the prefrmatted text button (the sixth option in the tool bar on top while posting)
