Desired State Configuration (DSC) for Dell Command | PowerShell Provider

Desired State Configuration (DSC) is a management framework within Windows PowerShell. It enables administrators to define the desired state of a systems configuration. It includes monitoring for configuration drift, managing registry settings, groups, user accounts, and environment variables through a declarative scripting approach.

Dell Command | PowerShell Provider uses the DSC functionality. It is used to provide a solution that monitors the BIOS configuration on Dell client systems. This functionality enables administrators to automatically rectify Dell BIOS settings that have deviated from the desired state configuration. Dell Command | PowerShell Provider provides custom resources that are aligned to each category of BIOS settings. It offers the user a declarative framework to use properties (attributes) defined in the resources.
