Summary

Attempting to test deploy a microsoft365DSC resource: "Microsoft365DSC/IntuneDeviceConfigurationPlatformScriptWindows"

Fails with an error stating:

Exception: The PowerShell DSC resource  returned results that are not valid from Get-TargetResource.
The Verbose key is not a valid property in the corresponding DSC resource schema file. The results
from Get-TargetResource must be in a Hashtable format. The keys in the Hashtable must be the same as
the properties in the corresponding DSC resource schema file.

I haven't added the key "Verbose", it seems to be a default behaviour of the adapter that I can't turn off.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Write config document, no Verbose key included:

    $schema: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PowerShell/DSC/main/schemas/2024/04/config/document.json
    resources:
      - name: Intune Test
        type: Microsoft.Windows/WindowsPowerShell
        properties:
          resources:
            - name: Test-Intune-Script
              type: Microsoft365DSC/IntuneDeviceConfigurationPlatformScriptWindows
              properties:
                Id: "34cedb35-7569-4d20-acbc-81c12c2d9507"
                DisplayName: "TestCustomScript"
                Ensure: "Present"
                EnforceSignatureCheck: false
                FileName: "test-dsc.ps1"
                RunAs32Bit: false
                RunAsAccount: "system"
                ScriptContent: "test"
                ApplicationId: "###"
                TenantId: "###"
                CertificateThumbprint: "###"
    
  2. Attempt to deploy using:

    dsc -l trace config set --file .\test.yml
    
  3. Check M365DSC Event Log, sure enough the verbose key appears:
