Deploy resources using Powershell DSC pull server

I am trying to deploy Powershell modules from my https pull server but couldn't. I don't know what I'm missing here. These are things which I already did or tried:

  1. Setup a https based pull server using instructions outlined at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/dsc/pullserver
  2. Register a pull client using instructions mentioned here https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/dsc/pullclientconfignames
  3. On my pull server I've placed modules under C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\DscService\Modules as xWebAdministration_1.12.0.0.zip and xWebAdministration_1.12.0.0.zip.checksum

If I double click xWebAdministration_1.12.0.0.zip file it contains: DSCResources, Examples, Tests, HighQualityResourceKitPlan.md, README.md and xWebAdministration.psd1 at root level, Under DSCResources I have all MSFT_* folders and other stuff

  1. When I run a custom configuration on my client node which requires xWebAdministration module, I get module not found exception.

I looked at client's event viewer for errors but don't see anything related.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Seems like pull server is not configured properly. Look into the Pull Server Logs to figure out what it is complaining about: Get-WinEvent –LogName "Microsoft-Windows-Powershell-DesiredStateConfiguration-PullServer/Operational" Get-WinEvent –LogName "Microsoft-Windows-ManagementOdataService/Operational" – N.Gupta

Have you tried Publish-DSCModuleAndMof from xPSDesiredStateConfiguration?

You have to run Install-Module xPSDesiredStateConfiguration first.

You can find an example of using this here.
