setGroup: Error when I try to exclude a user from Users builtin group

[PlekyNeed]

Hello,

I'm trying to remove a user from builtin "Users" local group.

$NO_ACCESS_USERS = @('myUser') GroupSet GroupUsersCleaningNO_ACCESS { GroupName = @("Users") Ensure = "Present" MembersToExclude = $NO_ACCESS_USERS

Credential = Get-Credential

        }

I've got a : Exception calling ".ctor" with "2" argument(s): "Server names cannot contain a space character."

it looks similar to issue : https://github.com/PowerShell/PSDscResources/issues/26

"Users" contains Authenticated Users and Interactive

Thanks for your help

Ok, the devil is in the detail

if you import right module everything works fine

Import-DscResource -ModuleName 'PSDscResources'
# Import-DscResource -ModuleName 'PSDesiredStateConfiguration'

Hi @PlekyNeed and @DimaGepard - you are right: PSDesiredStateConfiguration is the built in resources, so you want to use PSDscResources. Alternately you can also use xPSDesiredStateConfiguration (https://github.com/dsccommunity/xPSDesiredStateConfiguration)- this is the community maintained one. However, that one is not guaranteed to be 100% feature compatible with PSDscResources. Note: xPSDesiredStateConfiguration is not supported by Microsoft - it is community supported.
