Recreate MOF based DSC resources as Class based DSC resouces
summary
Recreates a MOF‑based DSC resource as a class‑based resource and shows a concrete bugfix (string vs integer comparison) in Microsoft’s xRemoteDesktop module, builds modules and manifests with XDScResourceDesigner and Plaster, deploys to a Server 2016 VM via GitHub and PowerShell, and successfully disables RDP via registry keys. Demonstrates reduced code and no schema MOF with a PowerShell 5 class-based resource, notes PS5 debugging/versioning quirks and that PS5.1 likely fixes debugging.
