Summary
Started noticing this on GE builds (e.g. Windows Server 2025).
If a DSCv3 release was downloaded as a zip file (e.g. DSC-3.0.0-preview.9-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.zip), then PS scripts in PSAdapter will be marked as downloaded from web and will not be executed by PowerShell by default, resulting in DSC errors like AuthorizationManager check failed.
In such cases Unblock-File needs to be run on PSAdapter files to make them runnable.
Example:
Get-ChildItem -Recurse -File -Path <dsc_folder>\psDscAdapter | Unblock-File
DSC docs need to be updated to include this guidance.
