Configuration plan and Get-Http

o7238452_3646

Hi,
I have a problem in Otter with Get-Http in the Configuration Plan. I'm using Get-Http to fetch some information that is used in Ensure-DscResource in the next step. Unfortunately, Get-Http does not execute, so I don't have the information required in the next step.

Is there a way to always execute Get-Http in Configuration Plan?

This is because Get-Http is an execute-only operation, which means it will only run if configuration changed.

To force execute-only operations to run in configuration plans, you need to specify the execution directive to be always execute, as follows...

with executionPolicy=always 
{
   ...
}

Hopefully we can better document this in the future; it's buried in the formal specification.
