xIPAddress: get-netipaddress erroraction stop

[danSpotter]

xipaddress will not assign a new ipv6 ip where dhcp is enabled. Error action is set to stop. If set to silentlycontinue the test-targetresource takes 30 seconds to complete.

$GetNetIPAddressSplat = @{ InterfaceAlias = $InterfaceAlias AddressFamily = $AddressFamily ErrorAction = 'Stop' } $currentIPs = @(Get-NetIPAddress @GetNetIPAddressSplat)

PowerShell DSC resource MSFT_xIPAddress failed to execute Set-TargetResource functionality with error message: The running command stopped because the preference variable "ErrorActionPreference" or common parameter is set to Stop: No matching MSFT_NetIPAddress objects found by CIM query for instances of the ROOT/StandardCimv2/MSFT_NetIPAddress class on the CIM server: SELECT * FROM MSFT_NetIPAddress WHERE ((InterfaceAlias LIKE 'Ethernet 2')) AND ((AddressFamily = 23)).

Hi @danSpotter - I see what you mean:

• In Test-TargetResource the cmdlet Get-NetIPAddress is called with EA silentlycontinue.
• In Set-TargetResource the cmdlet Get-NetIPAddress is called with EA stop.

I'm trying to think if there might be any consequence to using EA of silentlycontinue to the cmdlet Get-NetIPAddress in Set-TargetResource. The 30 second delay does sound a bit concerning as well. Does this 30 second delay only occur when first converting the IPv6 address from DHCP to static or does it occur every time?

I have a similar problem. I have a static IP address of 10.110.194.33/24. When I try to add a list of addresses, I get the message that the first address already exists and the error behavior is to stop. When I change the behavior in the Set-TargetResource to Continue it works.

PS C:> invoke-dscresource -ModuleName xnetworking -name xipaddress -method set -Property @{ addressfamily = "IPV4"; InterfaceAlias = "Ethernet0"; IPAddress = "10. 110.194.33/24", "10.110.194.132/24", "10.110.194.133/24", "10.110.194.134/24", "10.110.194.135/24", "10.110.194.136/24", "10.110.194.137/24"; } AVERTISSEMENT : L'état du Gestionnaire de configuration local est modifié par des opérations non DSC.

Hi @yvesgermain - have you tried the new IPAddress in NetworkingDsc 6.0.0 (xNetworking has been renamed to NetworkingDsc)? This fix (https://github.com/PowerShell/NetworkingDsc/pull/331) may have resolved your issue - but it went out in 6.0.0.

Will try that first thing Monday morning!
