I'm trying to install sql server with
xSqlServerInstall
When I Start-DscConfiguration it runs perfectly and it ends with a message like this
ERBOSE: [WEBTEST2]: [] A reboot is required to progress further. Please reboot the system.
I've tried to make DSC automatically reboot the machine with this configuration
$ConfigurationData = @{
AllNodes = @(
@{
NodeName="WebTest2"
PSDscAllowPlainTextPassword=$true
RebootNodeIfNeeded = $true
}
)
}
But it seems not working, machine does not get rebooted and the Start-DscConfiguration stops telling me to reboot.
Now I have a couple of questions, the first is "how I can force DSC to reboot the machine if some resource asks to reboot?".
The second is: suppose I do a manual reboot, when I launch Start-DscConfiguration again I got
An old configuration is still pending. Please wait for the pending configuration to finish. If the problem persists,
execute Start-DSCConfiguration command with -Force parameter.
I waited for 30 minutes and nothing happens on target machine, CPU 0% no process installing MsSql is running.
How can I verify what DSC is actually doing on the target machine?
Probably I did something wrong with xSqlServerInstall, because after reboot, if I Start-DscConfiguration again with -Force it will always ask me for a reboot.
