The AzureRM PowerShell module has been officially deprecated as of February 29, 2024. Users are advised to migrate from AzureRM to the Az PowerShell module to ensure continued support and updates.

Although the AzureRM module may still function, it's no longer maintained or supported, placing any continued use at the user's discretion and risk. Please refer to our migration resources for guidance on transitioning to the Az module.

Syntax

Start-AzureRmAutomationDscCompilationJob
     [-ConfigurationName] <String>
     [-Parameters <IDictionary>]
     [-ConfigurationData <IDictionary>]
     [-ResourceGroupName] <String>
     [-AutomationAccountName] <String>
     [-DefaultProfile <IAzureContextContainer>]
     [-IncrementNodeConfigurationBuild]
     [-WhatIf]
     [-Confirm]
     [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Start-AzureRmAutomationDscCompilationJob cmdlet compiles an APS Desired State Configuration (DSC) configuration in Azure Automation.

Examples

Example 1: Compile an Azure DSC configuration in Automation

PS C:\>$Params = @{"StringParam"="Hello World";"IntegerParam"=32}
PS C:\> Start-AzureRmAutomationDscCompilationJob -ConfigurationName "Config01" -Parameters $Params -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup01"

The first command creates a dictionary of parameters, and stores them in the $Params variable. The second command compiles the DSC configuration named Config01. The command includes the values in $Params for DSC configuration parameters.

Example 2: Compile an Azure DSC configuration in Automation with a new Node Configuration build version.

PS C:\>$Params = @{"StringParam"="Hello World";"IntegerParam"=32}
PS C:\> Start-AzureRmAutomationDscCompilationJob -ConfigurationName "Config01" -Parameters $Params -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup01" -IncrementNodeConfigurationBuild

Similar to the first example, the first command creates a dictionary of parameters, and stores them in the $Params variable. The second command compiles the DSC configuration named Config01. The command includes the values in $Params for DSC configuration parameters. It does not override the earlier existing Node Configuration by creating a new Node Configuration with the name Config01[<2>].<NodeName>. The version number is incremented based on the existing version number already present.
