DSC Resource versioning fixed with WMF5 Production preview!

Last week I blogged about an issue with the DSC resource folder versioning in a DSC Pull scenario. DSC Resource folder versioning issue in a DSC-Pull scenario.

This week Microsoft released a new version of WMF 5.0  which fixes a whole range of issues.

While you still have to zip your DSC Resource without the version folder, the DSC engine now extracts the ZIP file to the corresponding folder version!

DSC Resource zip structure:

PSDSC_Pull_Server

DSC Resource client structure:

PSDSC_Pull_Client:

This means that now, we can use multiple versions of a DSC Resource on the same client. This will help when for example you only want to update 1 partial configuration on a server that uses a newer resource, while not having to update dependent others.
