Module not working on Linux / macosX #417

Closed adrien-constant closed 8 months ago

adrien-constant commented 1 year ago

Problem description

I followed the docs https://github.com/dsccommunity/ComputerManagementDsc/wiki

I need to use a samba share on a remote Windows sever

On both Linux and macosX, the install command completes successfully :

Find-Module -Name ComputerManagementDsc -Repository PSGallery | Install-Module

But this command fails :

Get-DscResource -Module ComputerManagementDsc

Verbose logs

Get-DscResource: The term 'Get-DscResource' is not recognized as a name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or executable program.
Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

None

I am pretty sure the module is not going to work on Linux or Mac OS X. The resources provided by that module make use of CIM classes and PowerShell cmdlets that are not available on Linux or Mac.

@adrien-constant It is complicated using a Linux or Mac as the authoring machine, and it is not possible to actually run the resource since they were made for Windows. Suggest taking a look at DSCv3 instead, and help out in the development of that. Closing this issue.
