I'm wondering if anyone out there has had success with Microsoft 365 Desired State Configuration (DSC). I tried running it but none of the commands seem to work for me. I'm using the latest version, and it feels like I'm running into wall after wall. Any insights?

I managed to get it working by uninstalling all the graph modules first. Then, I ran the Update-M365dscdependencies with the -force flag and made my own app registration. After that, I finally got a backup!
It worked fine when I tested it a few months back. I even created detailed blogs for each configuration. I’ll check the current status and update here soon!
It can be a bit tricky to get it working smoothly. Once it’s up and running I hold off on updates unless I really need new features. I’ve pushed for more unit tests in the project to help with reliability, but since you can’t reset a Microsoft 365 tenant each time, it’s tough! Also, definitely check out the (extensive) setup docs – don’t skip that.
I tried it not too long ago, and it was a mess. The list of GitHub issues was long, and honestly, I don’t think things have improved much since then.
Yeah, it’s been pretty buggy for a lot of users. I dedicated a whole VM to it, but honestly, I’ve found it to be more trouble than it’s worth sometimes.
I appreciate the tip on the documentation! I’ll make sure to take a closer look before diving in.
