Examples
Example 1: Import a DSC node configuration into Automation
PS C:\>Import-AzureRmAutomationDscConfiguration -AutomationAccountName "Contoso17" -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup01" -ConfigurationName "ContosoConfiguration" -Path "C:\DSC\webserver.mof" -ForceThis command imports a DSC node configuration from the file named webserver.mof into the Automation account named Contoso17, under the DSC configuration ContosoConfiguration. The command specifies the Force parameter. If there is an existing DSC node configuration named ContosoConfiguration.webserver, this command replaces it.
Example 2: Import a DSC node configuration into Automation and create a new build version and not overwrite existing NodeConfiguration.
PS C:\>Import-AzureRmAutomationDscConfiguration -AutomationAccountName "Contoso17" -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup01" -ConfigurationName "ContosoConfiguration" -Path "C:\DSC\webserver.mof" -IncrementNodeConfigurationBuildThis command imports a DSC node configuration from the file named webserver.mof into the Automation account named Contoso17, under the DSC configuration ContosoConfiguration. The command specifies the Force parameter. If there is an existing DSC node configuration named ContosoConfiguration.webserver, this command adds a new build version with the name ContosoConfiguration[2].webserver.
