dry - Can I use the data from my Resource.Schema.Mof file in a powershell script? -

i'm working on writing dsc resource managing windows dns configuration items (bootmethod, eventloglevel, etc.). get-targetresource function needs iterate on of configuration items resource able manage. currently, i've got hashtable in resource.psm1 file describing of these, i'd able use description exists in resource.schema.mof file, required build resource in first place. possible, or possibly ill-advised reason i'm not aware of?

schema.mof:

you can try writing resource using classes being introduced in powershell v5. should largely eliminate problem talking - 1 there no schema.mof being with
