VM DSC Extension - Repository doesn't match Reality

Hi, I am provisioning VMs as session hosts for AVD, using Entra ID for login. During the deployment process, one of the resources is Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/extensions/Microsoft.PowerShell.DSC.

Based on the deployment information, the artifacts (scripts) that are being used come from this path:

https://wvdportalstorageblob.blob.core.windows.net/galleryartifacts/Configuration_1.0.02893.601.zip

The confusing part is that when I view those files, they are a bit different than the ones stored in the Azure GitHub repo here:

https://github.com/Azure/RDS-Templates/tree/master/ARM-wvd-templates/DSC

 

Is the GitHub repo just out of date or need review? I have questions on the implementation of the scripts, but it seems like figuring this out is the necessary first step.

     Hello Jonah,

    The GitHub repo may be outdated. The blob storage version is likely more recent. Compare scripts or check Microsoft’s documentation for confirmation.

    Hi JonahBader

    Looks like the GitHub repo might be outdated or hasn't been updated to reflect the latest changes. The DSC extension used during your VM provisioning could have newer versions of the scripts compared to what's on GitHub. Check the repo for updates or any recent changes, but first, make sure the version in use is the correct one for your deployment. Let me know if you need more details on the implementation after that!

    Regards
