Convert private DSC Resources to a Puppet module

If you have private DSC resources, you can convert them to a Puppet module.

DSC Resources are automatically synced with the PowerShell Gallery. If you publish a module to the PowerShell Gallery, it appears in Puppet Forge the following day. However, some PowerShell modules contain internal business logic and are not published to the PowerShell gallery. Follow this guide to convert your private DSC Resources to a Puppet module, using the Puppet.dsc PowerShell module.

Before you begin: If you do not already have a PSRepository set up, you can set up a NuGet server to host a feed, or you can register a local folder to use as the source.

Run the following command to install the Puppet.dsc PowerShell module:
```
PS C:\Users\Administrator> Install-Module -Name Puppet.Dsc
```
This command provides the New-PuppetDscModule function that builds Puppet modules out of PowerShell resources.

The Puppet.Dsc module retrieves the source PowerShell module from a PSRepository feed. In most cases, this is the standard PowerShell Gallery, but it can use any feed you specify.

The following example points a PSRespository to a development environment where maintained PowerShell modules are stored. PowerShell can use either a local or shared folder as the source.
```
# Make sure you specify the correct parameters
PS> Register-PSRepository -Name YourRepository -SourceLocation 'C:\Users\YourName\Projects\PowershellModules' -ScriptSourceLocation 'C:\Users\YourName\Projects\PowershellModules' -InstallationPolicy Trusted
```
Run the following command to build a Puppet module using your private PSRepository feed:
```
# Make sure to specify the correct parameters 
PS> New-PuppetDscModule -PowerShellModuleName YourPowerShellModule 
-PowerShellModuleVersion 2.2.3 -Repository YourRepository
```
The Puppet.Dsc module generates to the import folder. Use Puppet Development Kit (PDK) to build a module tarball and distribute it — in the same way that you distribute other private Puppet modules. For more information, see the PDK documentation.
