Given this DSC configuration snippet, what will be the output file name generated after running MyConfig?

Configuration MyConfig {
  Node 'localhost' {
    File ExampleFile {
      DestinationPath = 'C:\temp\example.txt'
      Contents = 'Hello DSC'
    }
  }
}
MyConfig

Alocalhost.mof

BMyConfig.ps1

Cexample.txt

DMyConfig.mof

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand DSC output files
Running a DSC configuration generates a MOF file named after the Node, here 'localhost'.
Step 2: Identify the MOF file name
The MOF file will be 'localhost.mof' because the Node is 'localhost'.
Final Answer:
localhost.mof -> Option A
Quick Check:
DSC MOF file = NodeName.mof [OK]

Quick Trick: DSC MOF file named after Node, not config [OK]

Common Mistakes:

Assuming MOF file is named after config
Confusing MOF with script files
Expecting output as the destination file
