Unable to execute MOF file

[aroraankit89]

Hi @rahulkhengare @aniket2710 @ankitsrao @lomaingali - Need your help!!

I am getting an error when I execute the the 2nd command to apply the MOF file. The VM is built (Windows Server 2019) using packer Image in Azure Compute Gallery and it does not occur when the VM is built from azure portal (clickops)

.\CIS_Benchmark_WindowsServer2019_v100.ps1 [Script will generate MOF files in directory]
Start-DscConfiguration -Path .\CIS_Benchmark_WindowsServer2019_v100  -Force -Verbose -Wait

Error:

PS C:\> Start-DscConfiguration -Path "C:\CIS_Benchmark_WindowsServer2019_v100" -Force -Verbose -Wait
