Unclear why this is necessary #23

Closed chriskuech closed 5 years ago

It is unclear in the docs why this resource is needed. Setting $global:DSCMachineStatus = 1 in a script resource without using xPendingReboot will still cause the machine to reboot. Could you please describe the default case (where $global:DSCMachineStatus = 1 is set without xPendingReboot) and what value xPendingReboot provides over the default case?

I believe the point of xPendingReboot is to set $global:DSCMachineStatus = 1 if any of the three registry locations indicate that a reboot is needed -- regardless of whether the DSC needs a reboot otherwise...
