Hi guys,
I’m trying to publish a dsc config in Azure. I have a vm in Azure, and installed PowerShell 5
```
PS C:\Windows\system32> $PSVersionTable
Name Value
---- -----
PSVersion 5.0.10514.6
WSManStackVersion 3.0
SerializationVersion 1.1.0.1
CLRVersion 4.0.30319.42000
BuildVersion 10.0.10514.6
PSCompatibleVersions {1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0...}
PSRemotingProtocolVersion 2.3
```
and xWebAdministration
```
PS C:\Windows\system32> Get-DscResource
PowerShell xIisFeatureDelegation xWebAdministration 1.9.0.0 {OverrideMode, SectionName, DependsOn, PsDscRun...
PowerShell xIisHandler xWebAdministration 1.9.0.0 {Ensure, Name, DependsOn, PsDscRunAsCredential}
PowerShell xIisMimeTypeMapping xWebAdministration 1.9.0.0 {Ensure, Extension, MimeType, DependsOn...}
PowerShell xIisModule xWebAdministration 1.9.0.0 {Name, Path, RequestPath, Verb...}
PowerShell xSSLSettings xWebAdministration 1.9.0.0 {Bindings, Name, DependsOn, Ensure...}
PowerShell xWebApplication xWebAdministration 1.9.0.0 {Name, PhysicalPath, WebAppPool, Website...}
PowerShell xWebAppPool xWebAdministration 1.9.0.0 {Name, autoShutdownExe, autoShutdownParams, aut...
PowerShell xWebAppPoolDefaults xWebAdministration 1.9.0.0 {ApplyTo, DependsOn, IdentityType, ManagedRunti...
PowerShell xWebConfigKeyValue xWebAdministration 1.9.0.0 {ConfigSection, Key, WebsitePath, DependsOn...}

PowerShell xWebSiteDefaults xWebAdministration 1.9.0.0 {ApplyTo, AllowSubDirConfig, DefaultApplication...
PowerShell xWebVirtualDirectory xWebAdministration 1.9.0.0 {Name, PhysicalPath, WebApplication, Website...}
```
However, when I complie the below configuration, it came across the error. it has the red squiggly at xWebsite DefaultSite section \> Ensure = “Present”.
And the error is:
Unexpected token ‘present"
Name = "Default’ in expression or statement.
There is an incomplete property assignment block in the instance definition.
The dsc config:
```
Configuration FourthCoffee
{
Import-DscResource -Module @{ModuleName = 'xWebAdministration';ModuleVersion='1.3.2.4'}
# Install the IIS role
WindowsFeature IIS
{
Ensure = “Present”
Name = “Web-Server”
}
# Install the ASP .NET 4.5 role
WindowsFeature AspNet45
{
Ensure = “Present”
Name = “Web-Asp-Net45″
}
# Stop the default website
xWebsite DefaultSite
{
Ensure = “Present”
Name = “Default Web Site”
State = “Stopped”
PhysicalPath = “C:\inetpub\wwwroot”
DependsOn = “[WindowsFeature]IIS”
}
# Copy the website content
File WebContent
{
Ensure = “Present”
SourcePath = “C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\xWebAdministration\BakeryWebsite”
DestinationPath = “C:\inetpub\FourthCoffee”
Recurse = $true
Type = “Directory”
DependsOn = “[WindowsFeature]AspNet45″
}
# Create a new website
xWebsite BakeryWebSite
{
Ensure = “Present”
Name = “FourthCoffee”
State = “Started”
PhysicalPath = “C:\inetpub\FourthCoffee”
DependsOn = “[File]WebContent”
}
}
```
Any help will be apperciated.
Thanks,
Nick

Seems to be those weird smart quotes that are around many of your strings, particularly the one that’s closing “Web-Asp-Net45” and “[WindowsFeature]AspNet45”. When I replaced those with a plain double-quotation mark, the rest seemed to parse okay.

Thanks Dave. That is so embarrass… I tried to fix this for a few hours.
I copy the conf from technet, it that case scenario I always think there is something wrong with my setup. anyway, thanks for your support.

Notably, if you copy and paste from a website, you’ll often end up with non-straight quotes. It’s bitten me more than once.
