Odd powershell error

DSC
1

I have this DSC config in a “composite resource” and when I try to test it powershell is throwing me an error

Configuration rFileServer 
{
        WindowsFeature Gui {           
                Ensure = "Present" 
                Name   = "Server-Gui-Shell"
                
                
        }    
        WindowsFeature GuiMgmt {           
                Ensure = "Present" 
                Name   = "Server-Gui-Mgmt-Infra"
              

        }   
        WindowsFeature FsFsFs  {          
                Ensure = "Present" 
                Name   = "File-Services"
        }    
         WindowsFeature   Dedup  {       
                Ensure = "Present" 
                Name   = "FS-Data-Deduplication"
        }    
        WindowsFeature  DFSname {          
                Ensure = "Present" 
                Name   = "FS-DFS-Namespace"
        }    
        WindowsFeature  DFSrep {          
                Ensure = "Present" 
                Name   = "FS-DFS-Replication"
        }    
        WindowsFeature   Resourceman{          
                Ensure = "Present" 
                Name   = "FS-Resource-Manager"
        }    
        WindowsFeature    Printserv {        
                Ensure = "Present" 
                Name   = "Print-Server"
        }    
    
        SmbShare Apps {           
                Name        = "Apps"
                Path        = "c:\shares\Apps" 
                Description = "Branch Application Share"
                Ensure      = "Present"
                DependsOn   = "[File]AppFolder"
                FullAccess  = "Everyone"
        }    
        SmbShare User  {          
                Name        = "User$"
                Path        = "c:\shares\User" 
                Description = "Branch User Share"
                Ensure      = "Present"
                DependsOn   = "[File]UserFolder"
                FullAccess  = "Everyone"
        }    
        SmbShare Share {           
                Name        = "Share"
                Path        = "c:\shares\Share" 
                Description = "Branch Group Share"
                Ensure      = "Present"
                DependsOn   = "[File]ShareFolder"
                FullAccess  = "Everyone"
        }       
        File AppFolder {           
                Ensure          = "Present"
                DestinationPath = "c:\shares\Apps"
                Type            = "Directory"
        }    
        File UserFolder {   
                Ensure          = "Present"
                DestinationPath = "c:\shares\User"
                Type            = "Directory"
        }    
         File Sharefolder {  
                Ensure          = "Present"
                DestinationPath = "c:\shares\Share"
                Type            = "Directory"
        }   
}

And for the error:

rFileServer

PSDesiredStateConfiguration\Configuration : Cannot evaluate parameter 'ScopeName' because its argument is specified as a script block and there is no input. A script block 
cannot be evaluated without input.

Any hints? :slight_smile: I am near finally putting my first ‘true test config’ out there for display to the boss!

Plz ignore this one! I fixed this tidbit. It was an issue with not having imported the dsc resource.

Thanks! :slight_smile:
