Open jrdbarnes opened 2 years ago
I've just found https://github.com/dsccommunity/xPSDesiredStateConfiguration/pull/701 which shows a much nicer fix put in place in xPSDesiredStateConfiguration. I will leave this open, as the bug still exists in this module, and it may be useful for someone else with the same error.
What is the status of this then? Will it be fixed here also because of the dsccommunity/xPSDesiredStateConfiguration#701, or is this waiting for a pull request? (I see the fix to xPSDesiredStateConfiguration has been sitting there for over a year.)
Details of the scenario you tried and the problem that is occurring
When running Get-TargetResource on a Group with a single member, the Local Configuration Manager throws an exception, which appears to be due to a type mismatch with the resource schema.
https://github.com/dsccommunity/WebAdministrationDsc/issues/302 and https://github.com/dsccommunity/WebAdministrationDsc/issues/314 both helped point me in the right direction
Verbose logs showing the problem
VERBOSE: Perform operation 'Invoke CimMethod' with following parameters, ''methodName' = ResourceGet,'className' = MSFT_DSCLocalConfigurationManager,'namespaceName' = root/Microsoft/Windows/DesiredStateConfiguration'. VERBOSE: An LCM method call arrived from computer Server with user sid S-1-5-21-.
VERBOSE: [SERVER]: [[Group]DirectResourceAccess] Invoking the
function Get-TargetResourceOnFullSKU for the group Remote Management Users.
VERBOSE: [SERVER]: [[Group]DirectResourceAccess] Resolving
RemoteManagement_All in the domain Domain.
A general error occurred that is not covered by a more specific error code.
VERBOSE: Operation 'Invoke CimMethod' complete. VERBOSE: Time taken for configuration job to complete is 3.312 seconds
Suggested solution to the issue
Members = $members
Members = [System.String[]]$members
I have tested this solution on the machines generating the error, and it has resolved the bug.I don't understand quite why this works though, as I would have thought the LCM would be able to cast the String to a String Array easily?
