PowerShell DSC resource MSFT_xSQLServerRSConfig failed to execute Set-TargetResource

[reicher001]

Here is the config in question.

xSQLServerRSConfig SQLServerRSConfig { DependsOn = "[xSqlServerSetup]SQLServerRSSetup", "[xCredSSP]Client", "[xCredSSP]Server" InstanceName = $Node.InstanceName RSSQLServer = $Node.RSSQLServer RSSQLInstanceName = $Node.RSSQLInstanceName SQLAdminCredential = Get-Credential $Node.SQLAdminCredential }

This results in the following error.

VERBOSE: [SSRS01]: LCM: [ End Set ] [[xSQLServerRSConfig]SQLServerRSConfig] in 20.7200 seconds. PowerShell DSC resource MSFT_xSQLServerRSConfig failed to execute Set-TargetResource functionality with error message: Test-TargetResource returned false after calling set.

I have looked at the Microsoft --> Windows --> Desired State Configuration --> Operational event logs and see the following.

Job {C475915E-AD3A-11E6-A943-000D3A72D03D} : Message Test-TargetResource returned false after calling set.

What steps can I take to troubleshoot this further?

Sorry that it took so long to get you your issue. The error message 'Test-TargetResource returned false after calling set' is thrown at the end of the Set-method when it calls the Test-mothod to verify that everything was setup correctly. Test-method returns $false here which means something went wrong in the Set-method.

I'm not familiar with this resource yet. So for me to faster test this in my lab it would help immensely if you could provide you configuration file (stripped of any sensitive information of course). Is the configuration file something you could provide me? And also, what version of SQL are you installing?

I see the code does not output any verbose information. And there is no error handling until the end (where you get the error). The error that happens, happens in the code without the code throwing an error. So if you can provide me with your configuration file, I can verify each step and see where it fails and fix the code.

If I look at the code the following is suppose to happen (in order).

• Configure report server
  • Set virtual directory
  • Reserv URL
• Configure report manager
  • Set virtual directory
  • Reserv URL
• Generate database script to local file written to a random temp file
• Set machine account identity
• Generate database rights script to local file written to a random temp file
• Executes database script using sqlcmd.exe
• Executes database rights script using sqlcmd.exe

• Run the Test-method to verify success. Success equals if IsInitialized = $true. Abstract of the code below.

  $SQLVersion = 12
  $InstanceName = 'MSSQLSERVER'
  $RSConfig = Get-WmiObject -Class MSReportServer_ConfigurationSetting -Namespace "root\Microsoft\SQLServer\ReportServer\RS_$InstanceName\v$SQLVersion\Admin"
  $IsInitialized = $RSConfig.IsInitialized

So with this information, maybe you could find out how far it come. Because I don't think you will find any better information about the error than you submitted above, since the code does not throw any error expect at the end (which is at no use).

Here is my redacted config file. You will see values for other DSC resources that can be ignored. config_redacted.zip

I am working with SQL Server 2016.

Thanks, Rick

The Web Service URL virtual directory was created. Accessing it returns this message "The report server has encountered a configuration error. (rsServerConfigurationError)".

The Web Portal URL shows a message stating the virtual directory has not been configured.

The ReportServer & ReportServerTemp databases are not be created on the remote database engine server

@reicher001 Thanks for the config file. But I can only see you variables you are using in the file you attached. Not the actual configuration with the resources you are using, which should be at least xSQLServerSetup and xSQLServerRSConfig. Could you please provide that too? 😄

Hi. I'm facing the same issue and I think, it is related to a braking change introduced to SQL 2016: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143380.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

It is used in this lines: https://github.com/PowerShell/xSQLServer/blob/dev/DSCResources/MSFT_xSQLServerRSConfig/MSFT_xSQLServerRSConfig.psm1#L131

I've created a pull request to solve the issue: https://github.com/PowerShell/xSQLServer/pull/220

[luigilink]

@claudiospizzi Thanks you for your contribution

[johlju]

@claudiospizzi Nice find! Thanks for solving this one!

[claudiospizzi]

Thanks.

But I'm facing the next issue related with this resource and SQL 2016, so the resource is still not usable. More pull requests to come. ;-)

@claudiospizzi https://github.com/claudiospizzi Thank you for help.

@claudiospizzi We are happy for any fixes and improvements you can PR in. Keep them coming. 😄

[reicher001]

Any developments on this issue?

Is there any value in me performing more testing?

[johlju]

@reicher001 we have to wait until the PR #220 is merged. Currently the PR is waiting for @claudiospizzi to resolve review comments.

[johlju]

This was merged in PR #575. Closing this issue. If there is still a problem, then please feel free to reopen this issue.
