Azure Arc - State Configuration (DSC)

Please confirm my understanding, onboarding an on-prem server to Azure Arc does not automatically enable State Configuration? Additional steps are required to onboard the Azure Arc node for state configuration (DSC) in an automation account.

If this is the case then the creation of an automation account, onboarding the on-prem server to state configuration and deploying the connected machine agent (Azure Arc) may be preferable to reduce the number of times the on-prem server needs to be configured interactively or via PowerShell (either local or remote)?

  • We are very close to Public Preview of Azure Policy applying DSCv3, which is the next generation of AADSC functionality.
