PowerShell DSC 101 - bring your laptop!

An interactive introduction workshop into PowerShell Desired State Configuration. Join us to learn the basics of DSC:

  • Architecture v4 and v5

  • Document authoring
  • Composite and partial configurations
  • Applying configurations

NOTE: You will need a laptop with a prepared Windows Server 2016 virtual machine to partake in the interactive labs. To prepare the VM, simply run this script before the Meetup:
