Syntax

Default (Default) 

Get-AzAutomationDscOnboardingMetaconfig
    [-OutputFolder <String>]
    [-ComputerName <String[]>]
    [-Force]
    [-ResourceGroupName] <String>

Description

The Get-AzAutomationDscOnboardingMetaconfig cmdlet creates APS Desired State Configuration (DSC) meta-configuration Managed Object Format (MOF) files. This cmdlet creates a .mof file for each computer name that you specify. The cmdlet creates a folder for the .mof files. You can run the Set-DscLocalConfigurationManager cmdlet for this folder to onboard these computers into an Azure Automation account as DSC nodes.

Examples

Example 1: Onboard servers to Automation DSC

Get-AzAutomationDscOnboardingMetaconfig -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup03" -AutomationAccountName "Contoso17" -ComputerName "Server01", "Server02" -OutputFolder "C:\Users\PattiFuller\Desktop"
Set-DscLocalConfigurationManager -Path "C:\Users\PattiFuller\Desktop\DscMetaConfigs" -ComputerName "Server01", "Server02"

The first command creates DSC meta-configuration files for two servers for the Automation account named Contoso17. The command saves these files on a desktop. The second command uses the Set-DscLocalConfigurationManager cmdlet to apply the meta-configuration to the specified computers to onboard them as DSC nodes.
