Steps to Reproduce

Important Factoids

• On-premise VM in a nutanix cluster
• This is an unadulterated copy of the BaseDeployment-ThreeMachine.json configuration file; utilizing this to spin up a non-SSL DEV site to test the DSC process before implementing on Production with per-machine SSL
• I ran the DSC with DebugSwitch and EnableMSILogging parameters and can provide the logs upon request

References

This is the only search result that I could find that referenced that error; this is my first time using a DSC so I am unsure how helpful this might be:
dsccommunity/ComputerManagementDsc#353

Hi @FeralCatColonist,

I have seen this once before, and was able to resolve it by updating .Net Framework to 4.8 or later.

• Workaround 1: Update .Net Framework to 4.8 or later on the target node.
• Workaround 2: Use a Domain or Certificate Authority signed SSL certificate: Add SSLCertificates attribute block in your configuration json file and set the SslCertificates.Target to "WebAdaptor".

Thanks,
Cameron K.

Oh man! That was the ticket! Thank you so much for pointing that out. We just got a wildcard SSL so I'll be walking through that workflow next.

Hi @FeralCatColonist,

Glad to hear upgrading .Net Framework resolved the issue.

Thanks,
