Miscellaneous tasks

You may be required to perform additional tasks in order for your DSC pull server to function. In your production environment, you will most likely add firewall port accept rules for the ports you choose to run the DSC pull server on and have DNS set up in your environment. Read through our instructions here to decide if there are more steps for your particular environment.

In our downloadable code example, we disable the firewall to allow network communication on the HTTP ports we use and add IP addresses to the host file in order to allow name resolution between the two hosts. This is entirely because we are using a non-domain joined workgroup test machine, so name resolution is not available and we don't need to worry about blocking ports.
