Windows Server OSConfig and DSCv3
Introduction I wanted to formalize putting a post out here to get some discussion going on the attempts at modernization of Windows configuration, and importantly, infrastructure-as-code. Hopefully ...
But it looks like on Windows that's still using PowerShell v2 and not v3. It seems it's using v3 for Linux, however.
FYI 'PowerShell DSC 3.0' and 'Microsoft DSC 3.0' aren't the same thing (yes, it's confusing).
PowerShell DSC 3.0 is what Machine Configuration uses for Linux, but it shares more in common with PowerShell DSC 2.0 (which is used by MC for Windows) than with Microsoft DSC 3.0

That's confusing and also good to know! Thanks :)
