Supported version mismatch for PSDesiredStateConfiguration
Closed this issue · 13 comments
cnkdonovan commented
Ran into this issue while troubleshooting why I couldn't create any lab environments.
TL;DR:
The PSDesiredStateConfiguration module v2.0.5 (current) requires PowerShell v6.1 -- Windows PowerShell v5.1 can no longer run the module, leading to syntax errors when running lab-building scripts.
System Details:
Alienware M14x
Windows Hyper-V Server 2019
Intel Core i7-2760QM
256 GB SSD
16GB RAM
Get-PSAutoLab Output:
AutoLab : C:\Autolab
PSVersion : 5.1.17763.592
PSEdition : Desktop
OS : Microsoft Hyper-V Server
FreeSpaceGB : 127.47
MemoryGB : 16
PctFreeMemory : 91.54
Processor : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2760QM CPU @ 2.40Ghz
IsElevated : True
RemotingEnabled : True
NetConnectionProfile : unknown
HyperV : 10.0.17763.1
PSAutoLab : 4.21.0
Lability : 0.20.0
Pester : {4.10.1, 3.4.0}
PowerShellGet : 1.0.0.1
PSDesiredStateConfiguration :
Steps to Replicate Issue:
Running Setup-Lab / Invoke-SetupLab / Unattend-Lab will produce the following error:
At C:\Autolab\Configurations\SingleServer\VMConfiguration.ps1:2 char:15
+ Configuration AutoLab {
+ ~~~~~~~
System.Management.Automation.PSArgumentException: Cannot process argument because the value of argument "fullFilePath" is not valid. Change the value of the "fullFilePath"

This is due to the version mismatch. Running PowerShell v5.1 prevents you from being able to load the current v2.0.5 of PSDesiredStateConfiguration, leading to syntax errors in the build scripts.
Running Install-Module PSDesiredStateConfiguration does not throw any errors, and all relevant files are downloaded. However, if you try to manually import the module, you get this:
PS C:\> Import-Module 'C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\PSDesiredStateConfiguration\2.0.5\PSDesiredStateConfiguration.psd1'
Import-Module : The version of Windows PowerShell on this computer is '5.1.17763.592'. The module 'C:\Program
Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\PSDesiredStateConfiguration\2.0.5\PSDesiredStateConfiguration.psd1' requires a minimum Windows PowerShell version of '6.1' to run. Verify
that you have the minimum required version of Windows PowerShell installed, and then try again.

I'm still trying to track down any previous version(s) of the PSDesiredStateConfiguration module without much success. Any help is appreciated.

You must run this module in Windows PowerShell 5.1 using PSDesiredStateConfiguration 1.1 which should be installed by default. It also looks like you are trying to install this on a Hyper-V server. I can't guarantee the module will run without errors. It was designed for use on a Windows 10 client desktop. It is possible that your server doesn't include PSDesiredStateConfiguration version 1.1 and unfortunately, you can't install the older version from the PowerShell Gallery.
Run Get-Module PSDesiredStateConfiguration -ListAvailable and if you don't see version 1.1 you can't use this module on this system.

Bummer, looks like Hyper-V Server is toast for my PluralSight labs. Thanks for the reply!
jdhitsolutions commented
I just setup a standard 2019 server and it has the correct module version. Does Get-Module not show version 1.1?
jdhitsolutions commented
My other concern is that the Hyper-V server SKU is a stripped-down version of Windows. I'm not sure what else might be missing. But I'm going to try and stand one up and test.
cnkdonovan commented
Sorry, I've swapped disks in the laptop to go back to Win10 and a lab is building now. I was trialling Hyper-V Server 2019 to address some performance issues and save on disk space.
I'll either spin up a VM or swap back tomorrow and run some more tests. First impression was that the PSDesiredStateConfiguration module was missing and the PSAutoLab module initiated a fetch from PSGallery, hence why v2.0.5 was present.
EDIT:
I've located the v1.1 files in Win10, so I can also have a crack at manually importing them into Hyper-V Server as a potential fix.
jdhitsolutions commented
You shouldn't have to do anything with the module. Running the lab setup commands on Windows 10 will take care of everything.

Nope, I know it works fine on the Windows 10 instance. I've reverted the laptop back to previous Win10 instance with Hyper-V and PSAutoLab configured and working. I've created a new VM and installed vanilla Hyper-V Server 2019. Device is connected to vSwitch bridged to Ethernet and is on my internal network with internet access. I'll now go through and document installation steps.

So, no, Hyper-V Server 2019 can't run PSAutoLab natively. My guess is that I'll have to engage in some skulduggery where I yank the existing files for PSDesiredStateConfiguration from Windows 10 or figure out how to pull them from install media.
I guess my main concern was to highlight that if anyone tries to manually install the PSDesiredStateConfiguration module from PSGallery, it no longer supports Windows PowerShell v5.1 .
EDIT:
If I can eventually get it to work, is there any interest in documenting? I completely understand if that's outside the supported version remit - this is already an awesome tool that I'll continue to recommend to others in my field.
jdhitsolutions commented
This module should still support Windows PowerShell 5.1. In fact, it will only run on 5.1. Did you look at the Detailed Setup Instructions ?
jdhitsolutions commented
According to Microsoft the Hyper-V Server sku doesn't support DSC and there's no way to add it. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/dsc/getting-started/wingettingstarted?view=dsc-1.1
