  I am trying to automate the installation of HPC Pack to set up a head node using PowerShell DSC.

  The following code succeeds but returns very quickly with exit code 10 from the process:

  Configuration TestHpcInstall
  {
      Import-DscResource –ModuleName PSDesiredStateConfiguration
  
      Node $AllNodes.Where({$_.Roles -contains 'HpcHeadNode'}).NodeName
      {
          $HpcPackName = "Microsoft HPC Pack 2012 R2 Server Components"
          $HpcPackSourcePath = "C:\Temp\HPC2012R2_Update3_Full\setup.exe"
          $sqlServer = "EMEAWINQA15"
          $Arguments = "-unattend -headNode"
  
          Script TestInstall
          {
              GetScript = {
                  return @{ "Result" = "$true"}
              }
              TestScript = {
                  return $false
              }
              SetScript = {
                  Write-Verbose "HpcPackSourcePath: $using:HpcPackSourcePath"
                  Write-Verbose "Arguments: $using:Arguments"
  
                  $startInfo = New-Object System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo
                  $startInfo.FileName = $using:HpcPackSourcePath
                  $startInfo.Arguments = $using:Arguments
  
                  $process = New-Object System.Diagnostics.Process
                  $process.StartInfo = $startInfo
  
                  $exitcode = 0
                  $process.Start() | Out-Null
  
                  $process.WaitForExit()
  
                  if($process)
                  {
                     $exitCode = $process.ExitCode
                     Write-Verbose "Exit code: $exitCode"
                  }
              }
          }
      }
  }
  
  TestHpcInstall -ConfigurationData $configData -OutputPath "C:\Temp"
  Start-DscConfiguration -ComputerName "EMEAWINQA15" -Path "C:\Temp\" -Verbose -Wait -Force

  Strange this is, when I run just the process part locally (everything in the SetScript function above) it works fine. So I'm just confused: can anyone tell me what exit code 10 is from the HPC Pack setup.exe?

  Thanks,
