Hi folks,

since Windows Server 2012 R2 is RTM and downloadable since yesterday i would like to ask about the availability of the Chef + Windows PowerShell DSC integration.

Microsoft has taken a HUGE step forward with R2 + Powershell DSC. Now there is a native way for configure and instrument Windows Servers and Applications.

This is the first time in years I have been truly excited by Microsoft.


In the video from Opscode and Microsoft at TechEd 2013 (http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/TechEd/NorthAmerica/2013/MDC-B302)  the "dsc_configuration_script" - resource is shown to work with DSC.

We would like to install all of our new Windows Servers with WS2012 R2 (RTM) because of PowerShell DSC.

Is the "dsc_configuration_script" resource/provider/lwrp anywhere available in a public repo ?


I would really like to test, give feedback and contribute to the PowerShell DSC integration. I hope there is a way.
