Description:Tackle script fatigue and switch from brittle imperative scripts to reliable, self-correcting configurations using DSC v3, the modern, agentless runtime. A live coding break/fix demo will illustrate how to prevent drift, standardize logging, and manage reboots safely within Intune or ConfigMgr. Attendees will walk away with a comprehensive GitHub starter kit to transform unreliable scripts into robust, self-healing baselines.
What you will learn: - Adopt a 'two-layer' operating model that uses Intune/ConfigMgr for delivery while leveraging DSC v3 for reliable, self-correcting configuration state.
- Implement a production-grade Execution Template to standardize exit codes, prevent 'false green' reporting, and capture durable evidence for troubleshooting.
- Master practical techniques for offline packaging, reboot orchestration, and secrets management to replace brittle imperative scripts with reliable DSC v3 patterns.
- Walk away with a complete GitHub starter kit containing runner templates, validation tools, and sample configurations ready to deploy in your environment.
