Here's a place where you can test out the different resources for DSC.
https://github.com/ferventcoder/vagrant-windows-puppet/tree/master/boxes/microsoft-dsc(specifically
https://github.com/ferventcoder/vagrant-windows-puppet/blob/master/boxes/microsoft-dsc/powershelldsc/Test.ps1
).

If you find that some of them do not work as well you might have thought,
please remember that DSC is a v1 product.

Also keep in mind that DSC will only work on Windows Server 2008 R2+ and
Windows 7 SP1+. I put together a chocolatey package for installing DSC.
http://chocolatey.org/packages/powershell4

I would be curious to know others feedback on PowerShell DSC.
