FirewallProfile: Issue with Get-DSCConfiguration

[Dimalt]

Details of the scenario you tried and the problem that is occurring

Hello,

I have successfully started a configuration for a firewallProfile. All i want to do is turn off all 3 of them (private, public and domain). Start-DSCCconfiguration and Test-DSCConfiguration work fine, but Get-DSCConfiguration returns the below error at the end of function "Get-TargetResource":

Get-DscConfiguration: Unable to cast object of type "System.Management.Automation.PSObject" to type "System.IConvertible".

I have already checked the similar issues here, but nothing says anything about casting.

This is how i have written my configuration:

FirewallProfile PrivateProfile { Name = 'Private' Enabled = 'False' DependsOn = "[Computer]NewServer" }

Verbose logs showing the problem

Suggested solution to the issue

The DSC configuration that is used to reproduce the issue (as detailed as possible)

# FirewallProfile

Thanks for raising this @Dimalt . Looks like there might be an issue in get. I'll check it out and see if I can replicate it using your config. If I cant I might need to get you to share verbose log output. I'll look at this tonight.

Hi @Dimalt - I tried this out on my Windows Server 2016 lab and wasn't able to replicate this. I'll have to build a new Windows Server 2012 R2 lab to try this out on. I don't suppose you've seen if this works in Windows Server 2016?

I've also tried on NetworkingDsc 7.0.0.0 on Windows Server 2016 and I couldn't replicate the problem.

The other thing I was doing differently was that I didn't have the DependsOn = "[Computer]NewServer". Can you confirm that the problem occurs without the DependsOn?
