I have template below which errors out during deployment with error below. Samples on documentation page seems to be erroneous and don't even compile.
"message": "VM has reported a failure when processing extension 'Microsoft.Powershell.DSC'. Error message: \"The DSC Extension failed to install: Invalid type for parameter RegistrationKey of type PSCredential.\nMore information about the failure can be found in the logs located under 'C:\WindowsAzure\Logs\Plugins\Microsoft.Powershell.DSC\2.74.0.0' on the VM.\nTo retry install, please remove the extension from the VM first. \"."
