Since my two previous Desired State Configuration Manager videos, I have gotten more than a few questions asking how to view a specific DSC resources properties. Unlike your typical PowerShell CMDlet, you can’t view properties of a DSC resource using Get-Member. To view DSC resource properties you have to use Get-DSCResource, take a watch and I’ll learn you how.
