Hello,
I have been working on using DSC to setup our test web servers. Part of the DSC script is to install coldfusion which requires a reboot. I swear, a few weeks ago this was working famously and the vm would reboot after installing coldfusion.
I resumed testing and developing today and the reboot portion of the program is no longer working, even though all signs say it should be.
Here is the LCM configuration on the target machine:
ActionAfterReboot : ContinueConfiguration
AgentId : EC3F61DA-5D5D-11E5-9745-00155D010277

I can even see in the verbose output of update-dscconfiguration that the server knows it needs to reboot:
VERBOSE: [QWDSC01]: LCM: [ Start Set ] [[Package]coldFusion] VERBOSE: [QWDSC01]: [[Package]coldFusion] Validate-StandardArguments, Path was PATH VERBOSE: [QWDSC01]: [[Package]coldFusion] The path extension was .exe VERBOSE: [QWDSC01]: [[Package]coldFusion] Ensure is Present VERBOSE: [QWDSC01]: [[Package]coldFusion] product installation cannot be determined VERBOSE: [QWDSC01]: [[Package]coldFusion] product as boolean is False VERBOSE: [QWDSC01]: [[Package]coldFusion] The package Adobe ColdFusion 9 is not installed VERBOSE: [QWDSC01]: [[Package]coldFusion] Validate-StandardArguments, Path was PATH VERBOSE: [QWDSC01]: [[Package]coldFusion] The path extension was .exe VERBOSE: [QWDSC01]: [[Package]coldFusion] Package configuration starting VERBOSE: [QWDSC01]: [[Package]coldFusion] Create log file VERBOSE: [QWDSC01]: [[Package]coldFusion] Mount share to get media VERBOSE: [QWDSC01]: [[Package]coldFusion] The binary is an EXE VERBOSE: [QWDSC01]: [[Package]coldFusion] User has requested logging, need to attach event handlers to the process VERBOSE: [QWDSC01]: [[Package]coldFusion] Starting PATH with -f SILENTPATH VERBOSE: [QWDSC01]: [[Package]coldFusion] Starting process PATH with arguments -f SILENTPATH VERBOSE: [QWDSC01]: [[Package]coldFusion] The machine requires a reboot VERBOSE: [QWDSC01]: [[Package]coldFusion] Package has been installed VERBOSE: [QWDSC01]: [[Package]coldFusion] Package configuration finished VERBOSE: [QWDSC01]: LCM: [ End Set ] [[Package]coldFusion] in 210.0380 seconds. VERBOSE: [QWDSC01]: LCM: [ End Resource ] [[Package]coldFusion]
As you can see, it says in the verbose output “VERBOSE: [QWDSC01]: [[Package]coldFusion] The machine requires a reboot”. So obviously the machine recognizes it needs to reboot, but it looks like the RebootNodeIfNeeded setting is not working and rebooting the machine as it goes onto the next resource which throws an error because the machine needs to reboot first…
I am running out of rocks to turn over and am baffled by this. Any ideas or thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
