A project to build a Group Policy like frontend for Desired State Configuration
Have you ever wished DSC were a little more 'wizard-like', maybe resembling something like other Microsoft tools? Then you'll like this project!
Download the .ps1 file in this project and run the script like so:
.\Start-DSCDesigner.ps1
Currently, we are able to scrape all available DSC Resources installed on your machine, parse out the required syntax for each, and then, with a click of a button, export a valid DSC Configuration for application on systems in your environment.
Contributions are simple. First, don't sell it! Secondly, simply fork the project, make your own commit and then send me a pull-request. That's it!
Is it broke? Open an issue, please 😄
This project has been a work-in-progress since the MVP Summit last year, when I tried to get MS to make this UI, and they told me to do it on my own! So this is version 1.0, the mostly-functional-get-it-out-the-door release. Here's the planned features for somewhere down the road.
