Description

Details of the scenario you tried and the problem that is occurring

I'm using puppet 7, to apply a dsc_netadapteradvancedproperty.

dsc_netadapteradvancedproperty{"Nic_V_IntraClusterManagement_Adv_Prop_FlowControl":
      dsc_networkadaptername => 'V-IntraClusterManagement',
      dsc_registrykeyword    => '*FlowControl',
      dsc_registryvalue      => '3',
}

It keeps running over and over again saying that

Verbose logs showing the problem
Notice: /Stage[main]/Profiles::myprofile/Dsc_netadapteradvancedproperty[Nic_V_IntraClusterManagement_Adv_Prop_FlowControl]/dsc_registryvalue: dsc_registryvalue changed 'System.String[]' to '3'
Suggested solution to the issue

It seems to either not be passing the test-result back properly, or that it's in a wrong format. Does the module need to be fixed, or something with puppet's implementation?

Research direction

Start with the dsc_netadapteradvancedproperty resource and reproduce the Puppet 7 manifest on the stated Windows and PowerShell versions. Inspect the value returned during the test and compare the reported System.String[] with the configured 3; done means a second run is idempotent and no longer reports dsc_registryvalue as changed.
