Change Windows Service with DSCv3

[ognif]

I have an old DSC configuration and I want to bring this into the modern world DSCv3. But I have a problem to find a Module for Windows Services. As Sample I want to set the SQLBrowserService to Automatic/Running, My idea was:

    {
      "type": "PSDscResources/Service",
      "name": "SQLBrowserService",
      "properties": {
        "Name": "SQLBrowser",
        "StartupType": "Automatic",
        "State": "Running"
      },
      "dependsOn": ["[resourceId('SqlServerDsc/SqlSetup', 'InstallSQLServer2022')]"]
    },

But it looks like PSDscResource is not working with DSCv3. Any hint what I can use there?

I don't think @ThomasNieto released: https://github.com/opendsc/opendsc/tree/main/src/OpenDsc.Resource.Windows.Service, but that's a native command-based DSC resource. Regardless, I'm curious why the PSDscResource/Service doesn't work. Can you run it with --trace-level DEBUG|TRACE option, or use the short-handed version -l and let me know the output.

Try this config:

$schema: https://aka.ms/dsc/schemas/v3/bundled/config/document.json
metadata:
  Microsoft.DSC:
    securityContext: elevated
resources:
  - type: PSDesiredStateConfiguration/Service
    name: Service
    properties:
      name: BITS
