Description

Problem description

When using this module with the Azure DSC extension, the azure deployment completes while the DSC configuration is still running. It would be desirable if all reboots could be suppressed and then handled in a single reboot at the end.

The resource for IEEnhancedSecurityConfiguration has this feature.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the IEEnhancedSecurityConfiguration resource, which already supports suppressing reboots, then identify the other resources that request restarts. Done means the suppress-reboot switch is available consistently across those resources so reboots can be handled together at the end of an Azure DSC deployment.
