Multiple VMExtensions per (type) handler not supported for OS type...

Bắt đầu bằng cách xem xét hành vi triển khai extension của Azure VM được mô tả trong issue, đặc biệt là handler Microsoft.Powershell.DSC và trình tự triển khai ARM template. Xác định xem việc hỗ trợ nhiều DSC extension có tên duy nhất có thuộc repository này hay không; công việc được xem là hoàn tất khi có một triển khai đã được thống nhất hoặc một phương án giải quyết được ghi lại cho việc triển khai các cấu hình DSC riêng biệt cùng nhau.

ISSUE TITLE:
Multiple VMExtensions per (type) handler not supported for OS type...

ISSUE DESCRIPTION :

An advertised benefit of DSC in Azure is the ability to Audit VM's to ensure certain actions have been performed, ie JoinDomain, BGInfo, Anti-Malware, etc. This was the main reason I went with the added effort of DSC, instead of Custom Script Extension or Remote Powershell.

In my configurations, I need to Join a Domain, Install a gMSA, add Initialize and Format Disks, Copy Service Files, install and start Services, etc... in addition to whatever the ISO wants has as fundamental requirements.

Many of these tasks need to be performed in different combinations on different machines. The volume and combinations of parameters required also add complexity. Further combining all of this into an ARM template, which presents it's own difficulties.

This led me to an approach of creating various DSC's, each with it's own set of parameters and simple ARM template. This approach allows me to see if DomainJoin succeeded, before attempting to install gMSA

Imagine my dismay, to find out I can perform "Disk Operations" OR "Join Domain", but I can only perform both actions if I create a monolithic DSC. You can only use Microsoft.Powershell.DSC extension once per VM !!!???

 _Multiple VMExtensions per handler not supported for OS type 'Windows'. VMExtension 'DSC.xxxxx' with handler 'Microsoft.Powershell.DSC' already added or specified in input._

Why not allow multiple Microsoft.Powershell.DSC extensions, provided the names are Unique ?

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

I have created several DSC's that work independently when deployed via ARM templates. When attempting to deploy these DSC's in sequence, I get:

 _Multiple VMExtensions per handler not supported for OS type 'Windows'. VMExtension 'DSC.xxxxx' with handler 'Microsoft.Powershell.DSC' already added or specified in input._

Suggested solution to the issue

Allow multiple deployments of Microsoft.Powershell.DSC provided the names are unique.
