Summary
I have been experimenting with DSC and have encountered an Error with what i belive is the "PSDesiredStateConfiguration/WindowsOptionalFeature" resource when using the attached document
I continuously encountered the following error:
NativeErrorCode : Failed
ErrorData : MSFT_WmiError
MessageId : MI RESULT 1
ErrorSource :
ErrorType : 0
StatusCode : 1
Message : A general error occurred that is not covered by a more specific error code.
Data : {}
InnerException :
TargetSite : Void ProcessNativeCallback(Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.Native.OperationCallbackProcessingContext, T, Boolean, Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.Native.MiResult,
System.String, Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.Native.InstanceHandle)
StackTrace : at Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.Internal.Operations.CimAsyncObserverProxyBase`1.ProcessNativeCallback(OperationCallbackProcessingContext callbackProcessingContext,
T currentItem, Boolean moreResults, MiResult operationResult, String errorMessage, InstanceHandle errorDetailsHandle)
HelpLink :
Source : Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure
HResult : -2146233088
When investigation dsc logs i have managed to identity this event
Job {DE97456C-C6CA-11F0-811C-010101010000} :
Message Unable to cast object of type 'System.Management.Automation.PSObject' to type 'System.Object[]'.
HResult -2147467262
StackTrack at System.Management.Automation.LanguagePrimitives.ConvertTo[T](Object valueToConvert)
at Microsoft.PowerShell.DesiredStateConfiguration.Internal.ResourceProviderAdapter.GetPSObjectArrayValue(CimType cimType, Object propertyValue)
at Microsoft.PowerShell.DesiredStateConfiguration.Internal.ResourceProviderAdapter.GetTargetResource(IntPtr resourceConfigurationInstanceHandle, IntPtr nonResourcePropetiesHandle, IntPtr metaConfigHandle, IntPtr regInstanceHandle, IStreamHandler plugInStreamsHandler, IntPtr& outputInstanceHandle, IntPtr& errorInstanceHandle)
at Microsoft.PowerShell.DesiredStateConfiguration.Internal.DscPluginManagedEntryWrapper.Get(IntPtr provContext, IntPtr instance, IntPtr nonResourcePropeties, IntPtr metaConfig, IntPtr regInstance, IntPtr outputInstance, IntPtr extendedError)
followed by this one which i believe to be the cause of the issue
Job {DE97456C-C6CA-11F0-811C-010101010000} :
MIResult: 1
Error Message: NULL
Message ID: NULL

Error Code: 0
Error Type: NULL
Steps to reproduce
- use the following config file
$schema: https://aka.ms/dsc/schemas/v3.0.0/config/document.json
resources:

type: Microsoft.Windows/WindowsPowerShell
properties:
resources:
- name: "Enable HyperV"
type: "PSDesiredStateConfiguration/WindowsOptionalFeature"
properties:
Name: "Microsoft-Hyper-V-All"
-
Execute the following command line with the saved config file
dsc.exe config get --file "F:\Homelab_DSC\test.config.dsc.yaml" -o yaml
Expected behavior
i expect to get an actual result not an Error
Actual behavior
returns Error Message

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with test.config.dsc.yaml and the provided dsc.exe config get command. Trace the failure from ResourceProviderAdapter.GetPSObjectArrayValue in the reported stack trace and compare the WindowsOptionalFeature resource input with the logged cast error. Done means the configuration returns a result instead of the reported error.
