DC.vhdx stays "open by the system" state after premature ending of CreateParentdisks.ps1 #511

Closed aarseven closed 2 years ago

aarseven commented 2 years ago

I'm using straight the latest labfiles zip w/o any modifications and it ends during DC feature creation prematurely with the errors below. Testing it on a Win11 machine, could there be any incompatibilities with Powershell version etc?

Creating DSC Configs for DC Test-DependsOn : The format of the resource reference '[WindowsFeature]ADDSInstall' in the Requires list for resource '[ WindowsFeature]FeatureGPMC' is not valid. A required resource name should be in the format '[]', with al phanumeric characters, spaces, '_', '-', '.' and '\'. At line:118 char:13

when the script stops, the dc.vhdx stays mounted and cannot be deleted without a restart. above errors repeating for all the modules defined for config of the DC and thus cannot move forward with the lab prep.

SOLVED: surprise surprise! it was a problem with locale settings. Although I was using a en-us ISO etc I have realized powershell somehow interprets the ' and " for variable definitions in a strange way - thus possibly causing the above series of errors. Changed region to US and it works. easy to repro. not sure if I'm the only one hit on that.
