Description
Hi
Is it possible to create a parameter or to re-use "Computer\Description" and replicate it the Computer Object in AD?
The current "Description" fields set a local description and in dynamic environment, where you have 100s of random computer names (like AWS / Azure) it would be very beneficial to have a description on joined machines.
Please advise of any solution.
Regards

Research direction
No files, tests, or DSC resource entry points are named. Start by locating the resource that joins computers to the domain and reviewing how its local Description setting is handled; done means a supported option can set the corresponding AD computer-object description, with behavior verified by relevant tests.
