Update WMF 4 to WMF 5 via DSC

Question

I'm actually playing around with DSC. At the time I've a mixed lab environment where I'm using Powershell 5 (on my laptop) and Powershell 4 on the lab server (WIN 2012 R2). Is there a "simple" solution to update the lab server to WMF 5.x using DSC? I'm actually not sure which DSC resource would be the best to perform this kind of task.

Answer 1

First you need to install and import xWindowsUpdate

xHotfix WMF5_1
{
  Id = "KB3191564"
  Ensure = "Present"
  Path = "https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=839516"
}

The KB Number and Path are for Windows Server 2012 R2, I got them from this Article.
