Description

Summary of the new feature / enhancement

It may be useful to have a FilterGroup (perhaps implemented in dsc) that will conditionally apply it's sub-configuration depending on the filter rules.

In this case, the FilterGroup resource would have a filter property which can just point to another resource that acts as a filter (via test). In this case, it could use registry resource, wmi, etc... to test for applicability.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Research direction

Start by locating the dsc configuration and resource-handling entry points, then read how existing registry and WMI resources expose their tests. Determine how a FilterGroup and its filter property should be represented and conditionally applied; done means the behavior is specified and covered for applicable and non-applicable filters.
