DSC not accepting data

Question
-
Hi All,
I am configuring DSC to install RDS but somehow the DSC not accepting value from configuration data.
In my configuration data I have fields
$data = @{ AllNodes = @( @{ NodeName = '*' PSDscAllowPlainTextPassword = $true PSDscAllowDomainUser = $true }, @{
but when I run the code I get this error. Even If I have both PSDscAllowPlainTextPassword, PSDscAllowDomainUser it is not accepting it.
ConvertTo-MOFInstance : System.InvalidOperationException error processing property 'PsDscRunAsCredential' OF TYPE 'xRDSessionDeployment': Converting and storing encrypted passwords as plain text is not recommended. For m

Node $AllNodes.Where{$_.Role -eq 'Connection Broker'} { $RDData = $data.RDSData WindowsFeature RDSConnectionBroker { Name = 'RDS-Connection-Broker' Ensure = 'Present' }
Hi,
Problem is in this node block. You forgot to add NodeName.
Node $AllNodes.Where{$_.Role -eq 'Connection Broker'}.NodeName {

The error pretty much tells you the issue and the solution. Have you read the error carefully?

Did you see the DSC config above and the fiels where I have both PSDscAllowPlainTextPassword, PSDscAllowDomainUser in it. It was working in every other config but somehow it is not working now.Thursday, October 11, 2018 8:55 AM

Hi,
Without whole code it is impossible to troubleshoot.
