module: win_dsc
short_description: Invokes a PowerShell DSC configuration
description:
- Configures a resource using PowerShell DSC.
- Requires PowerShell version 5.0 or newer.
- Most of the options for this module are dynamic and will vary depending on
the DSC Resource specified in I(resource_name).
options:
resource_name:
description:
- The name of the DSC Resource to use.
- Must be accessible to PowerShell using any of the default paths.
type: str
required: yes
module_version:
description:
- Can be used to configure the exact version of the DSC resource to be
invoked.
- Useful if the target node has multiple versions installed of the module
containing the DSC resource.
- If not specified, the module will follow standard PowerShell convention
and use the highest version available.
type: str
default: latest
free_form:
description:
- The M(ansible.windows.win_dsc) module takes in multiple free form options based on the
DSC resource being invoked by I(resource_name).
- There is no option actually named C(free_form) so see the examples.
- This module will try and convert the option to the correct type required
by the DSC resource and throw a warning if it fails.
- If the type of the DSC resource option is a C(CimInstance) or
C(CimInstance[]), this means the value should be a dictionary or list
of dictionaries based on the values required by that option.
- If the type of the DSC resource option is a C(PSCredential) then there
needs to be 2 options set in the Ansible task definition suffixed with
C(_username) and C(_password).
- If the type of the DSC resource option is an array, then a list should be
provided but a comma separated string also work. Use a list where
possible as no escaping is required and it works with more complex types
list C(CimInstance[]).
- If the type of the DSC resource option is a C(DateTime), you should use
a string in the form of an ISO 8901 string to ensure the exact date is
used.
type: str
required: true
notes:
- By default there are a few builtin resources that come with PowerShell 5.0,
See U(https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/dsc/resources/resources) for
more information on these resources.
- Custom DSC resources can be installed with M(community.windows.win_psmodule) using the I(name)
option.
- The DSC engine run's each task as the SYSTEM account, any resources that need
to be accessed with a different account need to have C(PsDscRunAsCredential)
set.
- To see the valid options for a DSC resource, run the module with C(-vvv) to
show the possible module invocation. Default values are not shown in this
output but are applied within the DSC engine.
- The DSC engine requires the HTTP WSMan listener to be online and its port
configured as the default listener for HTTP. This is set up by default but if
a custom HTTP port is used or only a HTTPS listener is present then the
module will fail. See the examples for a way to check this out in PowerShell.
- The Local Configuration Manager C(LCM) on the targeted host in question should
be disabled to avoid any conflicts with resources being applied by this module.
See U(https://devblogs.microsoft.com/powershell/invoking-powershell-dsc-resources-directly/)
for more information on hwo to disable C(LCM).
