Description

This can cause the DSC extension to fail at install time since the WMF 5 PP package timestamp has expired. This occurs with any DSC extension version less than 2.14 and the fix is to update the typeHandlerVersion value to 2.14 or later. I've reviewed all related templates and found 3 that are currently broken because they are reference an old version and are not specifying autoUpgradeMinorVersion=true.

The following templates will fail at install time and need to be updated:
2.8 https://github.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates/tree/master/devtest-p2s-iis
2.8 https://github.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates/tree/master/dsc-extension-iis-server-windows-vm
2.8 https://github.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates/tree/master/dsc-pullserver-to-win-server

Research direction

Start by reviewing the three templates linked in the issue: devtest-p2s-iis, dsc-extension-iis-server-windows-vm, and dsc-pullserver-to-win-server. Check their DSC extension settings and update the outdated version configuration as described; done means all three templates use typeHandlerVersion 2.14 or later and specify autoUpgradeMinorVersion=true.
