file_with_condition.dsc.bicep

// This example demonstrates how to create a file using the Windows PowerShell DSC extension.
// The file is created in the C:\DSC directory on the target machine.
// You should at least have the Bicep CLI v0.34.34 installed to run this example with experimental feature desiredStateConfiguration turned on.
// To run the second resource, you can add the --parameters '{"parameters":{"restartService":true}}' flag to the command line.
// The configuration document requires to be run elevated.
// From dsc version 3.2.0-preview.4 and above onwards, you can directly run the example using `dsc config get --file file_with_condition.dsc.bicep`.
