@Lombra - is this perhaps related to #1283? Do you mind trying once with Invoke-DscResource using PSDesiredStateConfiguration v1.1?

[Lombra]

Sure, but I gave up on 1.1 due to its seeming complexity. How would I do that, exactly?

I can imagine! Unfortunately, the v1.1. is used underneath by the adapter. To test it out using a Windows PowerShell session:

1. Verify if the module is available: Get-Module -ListAvailable -Name PSDesiredStateConfiguration (should work because it's shipped with Windows)
2. Check if Get-DscResource -Name WindowsFeature doesn't return any errors
3. Run: Invoke-DscResource -Name WindowsFeature -Method Get -ModuleName PSDesiredStateConfiguration -Property @{Name = 'Web-Server'; Ensure = 'Present'} # Or switch between Set|Test in the -Method parameter

[Lombra]

Thank you. That seems to have illuminated the fact that WinRM is required and was not running. Didn't realise that was required.

Auch... I could have known. I know Steve and Mikey talked about it (both in the WG meetings and on YouTube sessions), but glad to hear it got resolved. Looking through the repo, I can also see there's a small note made at: https://github.com/PowerShell/DSC/blob/52c27507ae6dbb0040a18ecec213b120e7659d96/docs/get-started/index.md#manage-a-configuration section 🤔
