Name will not take ".Net6 Core ", Net6 Core works but want the "."

[bbaak]

Problem description

Migrating from an 2012 R2 server with all the pipelines already built, and want to use the same app pool names. We have a ".Net6 Core" app pool and XWebAppPool will not take the "." in the value.

Verbose logs

PowerShell DSC resource MSFT_xWebAppPool  failed to execute Set-TargetResource functionality with error message: The

    Import-DscResource -ModuleName 'xpsdesiredStateConfiguration'


node "localhost" 
    {

        xWebAppPool net6Core {
            Name = "Net6 Core"
            Ensure = "Present"
            State = "started"
            managedRuntimeVersion = ""
            enable32BitAppOnWin64 = $false
            managedPipelineMode = "Integrated"
        }

}

It says here it should work, but does not specify that it allow to start with a period.

Guessing you have tried adding through GUI and it work?

Have you confirmed that it works using the command New-WebAppPool ?
