Description

When i try running xSqlServerSetup with the feature RS_SHPWFE (Reporting
Services Add-in for SharePoint Products) the dsc-configuration throws "Set-Tar
getResouce failed" even though the feature actually gets installed.

It looks like the Test-TargetResource can't handle this feature and will always consider it not installed even though it actually is.

The result of this is that the Set-TargetResource always triggers and always fails, while the setup is actually OK.

Research direction

Start at xSqlServerSetup and trace the Test-TargetResource and Set-TargetResource flow for the RS_SHPWFE feature. Reproduce the DSC configuration behavior and verify that an already-installed feature is detected correctly without repeatedly invoking Set-TargetResource or reporting a failure.
