24.06.2 - 2_createParentDisks.ps1 fails in PowerShell 7

[Karl-WE]

Don't see why

repro:
run Windows Server Insider b26296
install mslab 24.05.2
open Terminal > PowerShell 7.4.5
execute 1_Prereq
execute 2_CreateParentDisks

error:
PS H:\mslab_v24.06.2-2408-prod> .\2_CreateParentDisks.ps1

ParserError: H:\mslab_v24.06.2-2408-prod\2_CreateParentDisks.ps1:1056 Line | 1056 | … Import-DscResource -ModuleName PSDesiredStateConfiguratio … | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | Could not find the module 'PSDesiredStateConfiguration'.

doing the same Terminal > PS 5.1 works fine.

[Karl-WE]

can confirm this in a different OS (W11).

[Karl-WE]

Also confirm the same on WS 2022
Seems like it's related to PS 7.4.5.
Jaromir Kaspar (@jaromirk) can you repro this please
1_prereq and Tests are ok
2_createparentdisks fails

Using Windows Terminal / PS 7.4.5 fails
Using Windows Terminal / PS 5.1 works

Tested OS
WS Insider
W11 24H2
WS 2022

If you see the same I believe it might be good opening an issue in PowerShell 7 repo. I would care about this.

[jaromirk]

Yeah, it never worked with PS7

[Karl-WE]

Sad to hear. 1 and deploy and other Script work well.
OK I will open an issue in PowerShell github then.

[jaromirk]

Does not make sense. It's incompatible with PowerShell DSC. It's a "feature"

[Karl-WE]

OK. Thanks Jaromir. I have no insights so if you say they cannot fix this it's not worth trying.

If I run createparentdisks from the subfolder there is no warning and termination

Can I assume that only 2_createparentdisk is affected?

Bug understood - this is a breaking change in PowerShell 7.2. I went ahead and coded up a fix, please try it out.

Michael Bernstein (MSFT) (@michbern-ms) i added you as admin. Feel free to discuss internally with Vladimír (@machv) what's needed. Thank you for your contributions!

[michbern-ms]

Thanks, Jaromir - I'm honored. I think my fix should cover the PS7 issue. If there are other things we should look at together, please let me know.
