about_automatedlab_dscpull SHORT DESCRIPTION Generic help about the Role 'dscpull' in AutomatedLab LONG DESCRIPTION DSC Pull Server With the DSCPullServer role, new pull or reporting servers for Desired State Configuration can be deployed. This role requires a certificate authority somewhere in the lab environment. Internet connectivity of the lab host is recommended, but not required. If your host is not connected, make sure that xPSDesiredStateConfiguration, xWebAdministration and xDscDiagnostics are in your module path. Starting with Server 1809 (guest operating system) you can choose to deploy the pull server with a SQL backend. This option requires a SQL Server in the lab which will host the DSC database.
