List of known limitations

This is is a list of known problems and limitations regarding Microsoft PowerShell Desired State Configuration and PowerShell.

PowerShell 7.0 limitations

Paths used for modules containing DSC resources must not have a space in them, because the path gets cut. Bug: PowerShell repo
The Get-DscResource used in New-VmwDscConfiguration sometimes fails to retrieve composite dsc resources and results in an exception when using composite resources in configurations.
In Linux distributions Composite Resources are not discoverable due to a bug in PowerShell Core for finding DscResources directory. The resource not being discoverable leads to a ParseException when using a Configuration with it.
In some cases in linux the dsc resources don't get imported properly and the following command needs to be run preemptively in order for the dsc resources to be imported
```
 Get-DscResources -Module '$modulename'
```
Invoke-DscResource is currently having performance issues and will potentially get fixed in PowerShell 7.2 Issue link: PowerShell repo
