What if you wanted to make DSC deploy its own resources? Technically, you can't. What if you wanted to give it dynamic client-side filtering, a la GPO? Technically, it won't. But if you're willing to get a little clever with it, you can certainly get it to do a lot more than you expected. Maybe these aren't such hot ideas, but the techniques are a tonne of fun, and in exploring the possibilities you get to know a LOT more about how DSC, and its supporting technologies (like Remoting, repositories, CIM, and more) all work. And knowing is half the battle!

You will learn:

• How to make a dynamic, self-modifying configuration
• How to get DSC to pre-stage its own resources from a repository
• How to totally break, and then un-break, the entire technology stack
