Description
Details of the scenario you try and problem that is occurring:
The helper function Get-FirewallRule has the ability to get the executable for Analysis Services so it can be provided to a firewall rule. But no such rule is created.
So either it is not best practice to add the executable to the firewall rules, in that case the logic should be removed.
If it should be added to a firewall rule, then that logic need to be added.
The DSC configuration that is using the resource (as detailed as possible):

Research direction
Start with the Get-FirewallRule helper and the code path that creates firewall rules for Analysis Services. Determine whether the executable path should be part of the rule, then make the implementation consistent with that decision; done means the unused logic is removed or the executable is applied, with the existing resource behavior verified.
