Setting up a common installation base

With all your target machines up and configured for remote access, you move on to looking at what your common base installation should look like. Since you've been doing this stuff manually by yourself for a long while, you know by heart what needs to be installed on every server and configured.

Looking back at this book as you go, you jump right into making a DSC configuration for your base setup. Since the custom software your company develops uses Roman names for code names for releases, you decide to name your configuration Pantheon and author the following DSC configuration script:

Configuration PantheonDeployment
{
  Import-DscResource -Module xRemoteDesktopAdmin
  Import-DscResource -Module xTimeZone
