Pull Client Configuration Not found

Hi everybody,
I have two servers windows 2016 in wmf5.1.
My dsc pull server is configured in HTTPS and registration keys.
I configured the LCM and made a configuration to pull it to my client.

LCM Configuration:
Node $NodeName
{
Settings
{
RefreshMode = ‘Pull’
ConfigurationMode=“ApplyAndAutoCorrect”
CertificateID = ‘mycertificatethumbprint’
}

ConfigurationRepositoryWeb CORE-O_PullSrv
{
    ServerURL          = "https://myserver:8080/PSDSCPullServer.svc" 
    CertificateID =  'mycertificatethumbprint'
    RegistrationKey    = 'myregistrationKey'
   ConfigurationNames = @('Server2016')
      
}   

Mof file are present in … DscService\Configuration
I renamed my mof file in Server2016.mof

But in the client when i tried to update-dsconfiguration -wait -verbose there is an error:
Configuration Not found.
In Windows Event : ResourceNotFound(404).
Could you give me some advices?

Hi,

your mof and checksum are directly in dsc/configurations/Server2016.mof ?

Thank’s

Hi,
My MOF file renamed in Server2016.mof and my checksum are present in dsc/configurations
I tried to rename the checksum file too in Server20106.mof.checksum.
I have the same result.
The client doesn’t pull his configuration

Try to make first ConfigurationMode=“ApplyAndMonitor” and show us the result

With ApplyAndMonitor this is the result:

...(AgentId='9FC96A5D-157E-11E7-A0E0-005056951FCF')/GetDscAction 
pour AgentId 9FC96A5D-157E-11E7-A0E0-005056951FCF avec l'erreur serveur «ResourceNotFound(404)».
....
    + CategoryInfo          : ResourceUnavailable: (root/Microsoft/...gurationManager:String) [], CimException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : WebDownloadManagerGetActionNodeConfigurationNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.DesiredStateConfiguration.Commands.GetDscActionCommand
    + PSComputerName        : localhost

The same error

ok
I had the same problem when I use dsc pull server HTTPS with a certificate. But when I used with non certificate all was run successfuly.
try this:
Pull server:

configuration DSCPullServer
{
param
(
[string]$NodeName = ‘localhost’
)

Import-DscResource -ModuleName xPSDesiredStateConfiguration #-ModuleVersion 3.7.0.0
Import-DscResource -ModuleName PSDesiredStateConfiguration

Node $NodeName 
{ 
    WindowsFeature DSCServiceFeature 
    { 
        Ensure = 'Present' 
        Name   = 'DSC-Service'             
    } 

    WindowsFeature IIS
    { 
        Ensure = 'Present' 
        Name   = 'Web-Server'             
    } 

    xDscWebService DSCPullSRV
    { 
        Ensure                  = 'Present' 
        EndpointName            = 'DSCPullSRV' 
        Port                    = 8080 
        PhysicalPath            = "$env:SystemDrive\inetpub\DSCPullSRV" 
        CertificateThumbPrint   = "AllowUnencryptedTraffic"          
        ModulePath              = "$env:PROGRAMFILES\WindowsPowerShell\DscService\Modules" 
        ConfigurationPath       = "$env:PROGRAMFILES\WindowsPowerShell\DscService\Configuration"
        RegistrationKeyPath     = "$env:PROGRAMFILES\WindowsPowerShell\DscService"   
        AcceptSelfSignedCertificates = $true    
        State                   = 'Started' 
        DependsOn               = '[WindowsFeature]DSCServiceFeature'
        UseSecurityBestPractices = $false                        
    }
}

}
DSCPullServer -OutputPath c:\dsc\DSCPullServer
Start-DscConfiguration -Path $env:SystemDrive\dsc\DSCPullServer -Wait -Verbose -force

and for LCM in your node:

[DSCLocalConfigurationManager()]
configuration PullClient
{
Node localhost
{
Settings
{
RefreshMode = ‘Pull’
RefreshFrequencyMins = 30
RebootNodeIfNeeded = $true
ConfigurationMode = ‘ApplyAndAutoCorrect’
ConfigurationModeFrequencyMins = 15
}
ConfigurationRepositoryWeb DSC-Pull
{
ServerURL = ‘http://yourserver:8080/PSDSCPullServer.svc
RegistrationKey = ‘your registrationkey’

        AllowUnsecureConnection = $true #Use this parameter only if you do not have a certificate installed on the pull server
    }

    ReportServerWeb DSC-Pull
    {
        ServerURL = 'http://yourserver:8080/PSDSCPullServer.svc'
        RegistrationKey = 'your registrationkey'
        AllowUnsecureConnection = $true
    }      
}

}
PullClient
Set-DSCLocalConfigurationManager localhost –Path .\PullClient –Verbose -force

I tried.
I make a update-dscconfiguration -wait -verbose
So no error but the client doesn’t find a configuration for him so no update.
In dscservice\configuration on my pull server i have my computername.mof and computername.mof.checksum, is it correct or must i use a guid for the mof file???

Hi
-on your node
do: new-guid (copy this guid)

  • on pull server
    rename your mof and checksume with this guid

rerun your LCM and wait untill “ConfigurationModeFrequencyMins = 15”

Ok Thanks.
But how the client knows it’s his configuration?
Must i precise a configurationID in the LCM configuration with this Guid?

With Guid and configurationID in the LCM:

http://myserver:8080///PSDSCPullServer.svc/Action(ConfigurationId='5e5f465e-10f0-4281-8a6f-b80a9da9ee48')/GetAction : configuration 5e5f465e-10f0-4281-8a6f-b80a9da9ee48 valide 
introuvable.
    + CategoryInfo          : ResourceUnavailable: (root/Microsoft/...gurationManager:String) [], CimException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : WebDownloadManagerGetActionConfigurationNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.DesiredStateConfiguration.Commands.GetDscActionCommand
    + PSComputerName        : localhost
 

With the GUID and without configuratioID in the LCM:
result of update-dscconfiguration -wait -verbose
No error but he can’t find a configuration

    [] Configuration not found on the pull server, so no action.

Really i don’t understand

Excuse me. use this for your LCM on your node

[DSCLocalConfigurationManager()]
configuration PullClient
{
Node localhost
{
Settings
{
RefreshMode = ‘Pull’
RefreshFrequencyMins = 30
RebootNodeIfNeeded = $true
ConfigurationMode = ‘ApplyAndAutoCorrect’
ConfigurationModeFrequencyMins = 15
}
ConfigurationRepositoryWeb DSC-Pull
{
ServerURL = ‘http://Your_server:8080/PSDSCPullServer.svc’
RegistrationKey = ‘your_registrationkey’
ConfigurationNames = @(‘service’)
AllowUnsecureConnection = $true #Use this parameter only if you do not have a certificate installed on the pull server
}

    ReportServerWeb DSC-Pull
    {
        ServerURL = 'http://Your_server:8080/PSDSCPullServer.svc'
        RegistrationKey = 'your_registrationkey'
        AllowUnsecureConnection = $true
    }      
}

}
PullClient
Set-DSCLocalConfigurationManager localhost –Path .\PullClient –Verbose

where “service” will be the same on your pull server in dsc/configurations (service.mof and service.mof.checksum) . make sure this two files are directly in dsc/configurations not in a directory like (dsc/configurations/service/service.mof or .checksum)

Thanks you Arnold.
It works fine !
Now i’ll search for configure it in https

Ok good.
Let’s me know if you fix it in https. Are you french?

Ok no problem.
Yes i’m french.
Sorry for my poor english (lol)

Je parle pas bien anglais non plus. Je suis Français et actuellement en stage sur le sujet de l’automatisation avec Powershell DSC

Ok.
Bon stage alors !
Je réalise pour ma part un poc.
Merci encore pour ton aide sur le sujet.

Done in HTTPS too.
I’ll post my configuration files soon
