PartialConfigurations
has two values represented by the 
IISInstall
and 
IndexFile
configurations, and 
ReportManagers
has a value of 
ComplianceServer
. 
New methods in LCM 
There are three new methods in LCM v2: 
GetConfigurationStatus
, 
GetConfigurationResultOutput
, 
and 
SendConfigurationApplyAsync
. Let's examine these briefly. 
GetConfigurationStatus 
The 
GetConfigurationStatus
method retrieves the current status of configuration for a server. The 
new DSC cmdlet Get-DSCConfigurationStatus invokes the CIM method. The following code shows an 
example of Get-DSCConfigurationStatus: 
PS C:\> $cimsession = New-CimSession -ComputerName DemoServerWin10 
PS C:\> Get-DscConfigurationStatus -CimSession $cimsession 
Status StartDate Type Mode RebootRequested

GetConfigurationResultOutput 
The 
GetConfigurationResultOutput
method provides verbose information about the current 
configuration and the configuration drifts. There is no DSC cmdlet that invokes this CIM method. 
Instead, you can invoke it can by using the CIM cmdlet Invoke-CIMMethod, as shown here: 
PS C:\>
$ConsistencyCheck = (Invoke-CimMethod -ClassName "MSFT_DSCLocalConfigurationManager" ` 
-Namespace "root\Microsoft\Windows\DesiredStateConfiguration" ` 
-MethodName getConfigurationResultOutput) 
for($i=0; $i -le 100; $i++) 
{ 
$ConsistencyCheck[$i].ItemValue.Message 
}
