DSC Pull Server WMF 5 - node cant pull configuration or dscresource

hi

i have think working pull server on ms server 2012r2 wmf 5 installed. node  is running ms server 2012r2 wmf 5.
can access pull server's site (xml) without issues on both pull server (vm01) , node (vm08) want pull configurations.

setup based on the https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/dsc/pullserver :

pull server:

configuration:

i made simple first file configuration testing purpose. runs fine on node (vm08) when running locally. not able make node pull pull server. testing purpose, i'm not using certificate encryption.

$configurationdata = @{      allnodes = @(          @{              nodename="*"              psdscallowplaintextpassword=$true              psdscallowdomainuser = $true           }          @{              nodename="vm08"              #certificatefile = 'c:\keys\sqlnode.cer'              #thumbprint = '42235a417be23adde72f1593bde665106262cf7c'           }      )  }      configuration copytest  {  import-dscresource –modulename psdesiredstateconfiguration            node $allnodes.nodename           {               file test          {              destinationpath = 'c:\here\ok.ps1'              ensure = 'present'              recurse = $true              sourcepath = 'c:\ok.ps1'              type =  'file'          }      }    }    copytest -configurationdata $configurationdata -outputpath c:\configs\targetnodes    remove-item 'c:\program files\windowspowershell\dscservice\configuration\*'    copy 'c:\configs\targetnodes\vm08.mof' 'c:\program files\windowspowershell\dscservice\configuration'    new-dscchecksum -path "c:\program files\windowspowershell\dscservice\configuration\"    #test pull using https://gist.github.com/jamesdawson/6787277 - invoke-pullonnode.ps1   cd '\\share\testing'  .\invoke-pullonnode.ps1 -computername 'vm08'  cd c:\windows\system32   

lcm on node (vm08)

when try get-dscconfiguration on node (vm08) get:

ps c:\windows\system32> get-dscconfiguration  get-dscconfiguration : current configuration not exist. execute start-dscconfiguration command -path parameter specify configuration file , create current configuration   first.  @ line:1 char:1  + get-dscconfiguration  + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~      + categoryinfo          : notspecified: (msft_dsclocalconfigurationmanager:root/microsoft/...gurationmanager) [get-dscconfiguration], cimexception      + fullyqualifiederrorid : mi result 1,get-dscconfiguration

any tips welcome!

figured out doing wrong. when compiling file configuration, mof file named after node (wm08.mof).

i changed mof name configuration name(copytest.mof), created new dscchecksum , put these files in dsc configuration path on pull server. voila. works perfectly.

its cool how can make single mof , apply multiple nodes:p
