Correct arrangement
- Create a DSC metaconfiguration
- Copy the metaconfiguration to the virtual machines
- From the virtual machines, run setdsclocalconfigurationmanager.py
Explanation
After installing PowerShell DSC and running register.py on Linux VMs in a third-party cloud, the correct sequence is: first create a DSC metaconfiguration (which defines how the Local Configuration Manager should connect to Azure Automation), then copy that metaconfiguration file to the Linux virtual machines, and finally run setdsclocalconfigurationmanager.py on the VMs to apply the metaconfiguration and register them with Azure Automation State Configuration. This process configures the LCM on each Linux VM to pull configurations from and report status back to the Azure Automation DSC pull server, completing the onboarding process.
