With the release of SharePoint 2019 last Monday, October 22nd 2018, we are working on testing SharePointDsc with this new version. In the meantime we are releasing a new version of SharePointDsc, version 2.6, which introduces a lot of new features and bugfixes. This release is part of the DSC Resource Kit which was released on October 24th 2018.

 

If you are interested in testing SharePointDsc with SharePoint 2019, please use the code in the v3.0-development branch, which we plan to formally release as soon as possible.
