So, it seems (as usual) that I’m a bit late on jumping on the DSC bandwagon. I came to PowerShell to do my job better and more efficiently. One of the platforms that I learned about was DSC for a configuration management platform to manage Windows Servers and Windows 10 boxes.
The problem that I am trying to solve is, I’m apart of a 4-man team and usually its one of my responsibilities to build out laptops for end users. I already have a WDS server that I can send images to laptops with. I was hoping to use DSC to complete the configuration phase of the laptop buildout, then going to Chocolatey for applications and such.
However, I have found out that Microsoft has discontinued support of the HTTPS Push server internally, and suggests we go to Azure Automate for the present supported cases. We’re still in PoC phase before we spend any money on something that we aren’t for sure is going to work for us.
Boiling all of this non-sense down, if internal DSC isn’t supported anymore, what are my other solutions except for Azure Automate? Ansible? Chef? What is the best tool for this job? If something isn’t very clear, please feel free to ask clarifying questions.
Glad to be back in A community.
Thanks,
