ScheduledTask: Type mismatch with MultipleInstances option

[bozho]

Details of the scenario you tried and the problem that is occurring

MultipleInstances option is a String. However, Get-TargetResource returns it as Microsoft.PowerShell.Cmdletization.GeneratedTypes.ScheduledTask.MultipleInstancesEnum, which causes Test-TargetResource function to always return $false.

Verbose logs showing the problem

VERBOSE: [TEST-SERVER]:                            [[ScheduledTask]MyScheduledTask] NOTMATCH: Type mismatch for property 'MultipleInstances' Current state type is                                            'Microsoft.PowerShell.Cmdletization.GeneratedTypes.ScheduledTask.MultipleInstancesEnum' and desired type is 'System.String'.                                                                                                                              

Suggested solution to the issue

Test-TargetResource could convert $currentValues['MultipleInstances'] value from enum to String

Alternatively, Get-TargetResource could do the enum -> string conversion.

This is easier to do now that this has been refactored. I'd suggest casting at this line: https://github.com/PowerShell/ComputerManagementDsc/blob/dev/DSCResources/MSFT_ScheduledTask/MSFT_ScheduledTask.psm1#L1816

I agree. I'll submit the patch during the day.
