[<CommonParameters>] Description
The Set-AzVMDscExtension cmdlet configures the Windows PowerShell Desired State Configuration (DSC) extension on a virtual machine in a resource group.
Examples
Example 1: Set a DSC extension
Set-AzVMDscExtension -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup001" -VMName "VM07" -ArchiveBlobName "Sample.ps1.zip" -ArchiveStorageAccountName "Stg" -ConfigurationName "ConfigName" -Version "1.10" -Location "West US"This command sets the DSC extension on the virtual machine named VM07 to download Sample.ps1.zip from the storage account named Stg and the default container. The command invokes the configuration named ConfigName. The Sample.ps1.zip file was previously uploaded by using Publish-AzVMDscConfiguration.
Example 2: Set a DSC extension with configuration data
Set-AzVMDscExtension -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup001" -VMName "VM13" -ArchiveBlobName "Sample.ps1.zip" -ArchiveStorageAccountName "Stg" -ConfigurationName "ConfigName" -ConfigurationArgument "@{arg="val"}" -ArchiveContainerName "WindowsPowerShellDSC" -ConfigurationData "SampleData.psd1" -Version "1.10" -Location "West US"This command sets the extension on the virtual machine named VM13 to download Sample.ps1.zip from the storage account named Stg and the container named WindowsPowerShellDSC. The command the configuration named ConfigName and specifies configuration data and arguments. The Sample.ps1.zip file was previously uploaded by using Publish-AzVMDscConfiguration.
Example 3: Set a DSC extension with configuration data that has auto update
Set-AzVMDscExtension -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup001" -VMName "VM22" -ArchiveBlobName "Sample.ps1.zip" -ArchiveStorageAccountName "Stg" -ConfigurationName "ConfigName" -ConfigurationArgument "@{arg="val"}" -ArchiveContainerName WindowsPowerShellDSC -ConfigurationData "SampleData.psd1" -Version "1.10" -Location "West US" -AutoUpdateThis command sets the extension on the virtual machine named VM22 to download Sample.ps1.zip from the storage account named Stg and the container named WindowsPowerShellDSC. The command invokes the configuration named ConfigName and specifies configuration data and arguments. This command also enables auto update of extension handler to the latest version. The Sample.ps1.zip was previously uploaded by using Publish-AzVMDscConfiguration.
