DSC Parser and Nested Configurations

[jadamones]

Does DSC Parser 2.0.0.3 handle resources with nested configurations like AADAuthenticationMethodPolicyAuthenticator? If so, how do I compare against those configurations? All I get when convert this to an object is below which doesn't contain all of the settings. Perhaps I missed some documentation somewhere about this?

AADAuthenticationMethodPolicyAuthenticator "AADAuthenticationMethodPolicyAuthenticator-MicrosoftAuthenticator"
{
    ApplicationId         = $ApplicationId
    CertificateThumbprint = $Thumbprint
    Ensure                = "Present"
    Id                    = "MicrosoftAuthenticator"
    IsSoftwareOathEnabled = $True
    State                 = "enabled"
    TenantId              = $TenantId
}

Could you share the part of your configuration that would describe the full resource? Thanks!

This was also raised here: https://github.com/microsoft/DSCParser/issues/47

edit: sorry for the hijack. this was fixed via https://github.com/microsoft/Microsoft365DSC/issues/4779#issuecomment-2228947648 (since I was running it outside of the regular pipeline..)

I think it's because FeatureSettings as an example parameter isn't set up as an array or the schema isn't properly setup? https://microsoft365dsc.com/resources/azure-ad/AADAuthenticationMethodPolicyAuthenticator/
https://github.com/microsoft/Microsoft365DSC/blob/Dev/Modules/Microsoft365DSC/DSCResources/MSFT_AADAuthenticationMethodPolicyAuthenticator/MSFT_AADAuthenticationMethodPolicyAuthenticator.schema.mof

The parser doesn't know what to do with it as $associatedCIMProperty.CIMType ends up empty
https://github.com/microsoft/DSCParser/blob/master/Modules/DSCParser/Modules/DSCParser.psm1#L648 ...not entirely sure

Can you please perform a winrm quickconfig ? It's now a prerequisite since DSCParser v2 For more information, you can refer to https://github.com/microsoft/Microsoft365DSC/issues/5064
