NO - Source/Destionation + DependsOn says, that Web-Server should be installed first (NO) (YES)

NO NO YES

No No Yes

N0 - DependsOn No - Cofiguration mode is applyand Monitor Yes - Confiuration mode frequency is 60

no - it's source. not destination no. It's ApplyAndMonitor (it just logs any drift) yes - log the drift if it's ununstalled within 60 minutes (ConfigurationModeFreqMin : 60)

this question appeared on today's (20/06/23) exam.selected answers in below order. scored 955. should be correct! cheers No No Yes

NNY is the answer. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/dsc/configurations/resource-depends-on?view=dsc-1.1 When you write Configurations, you add Resource blocks to configure aspects of a target Node. As you continue to add Resource blocks, your Configurations can grow quite large and cumbersome to manage. One such challenge is the applied order of your resource blocks. Typically resources are applied in the order they are defined within the Configuration. As your Configuration grows larger and more complex, you can use the DependsOn key to change the applied order of your resources by specifying that a resource depends on another resource.

Correct Answer is : No " Dependson are defined" No "Mode is Apply and Monitor" Yes "ConfigurationModeFreqMin : 60 " ------ ConfigurationModeFreqMin :How often, in minutes, the current configuration is checked and applied. This property is ignored if the ConfigurationMode property is set to ApplyOnly. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/dsc/managing-nodes/metaconfig?view=dsc-1.1 https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/dsc/configurations/resource-depends-on?view=dsc-1.1

NO YES NO

"C:\Test" is in the Source Path, the file will be copied from there and not to that folder, the "ensure: present" property refers to the target path, so I think that the first answer should be NO instead of yes.

I would say No No Yes Source path means the file is expected to be there https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/dsc/managing-nodes/metaconfig?view=dsc-1.1 "ApplyAndMonitor: This is the default value. The LCM applies any new configurations. After initial application of a new configuration, if the target node drifts from the desired state, DSC reports the discrepancy in logs. Note that DSC will attempt to apply the configuration until it is successful before ApplyAndMonitor takes effect. ApplyAndAutoCorrect: DSC applies any new configurations. After initial application of a new configuration, if the target node drifts from the desired state, DSC reports the discrepancy in logs, and then re-applies the current configuration. How often, in minutes, the current configuration is checked and applied. This property is ignored if the ConfigurationMode property is set to ApplyOnly. The default value is 15."
