The requested feature DSC-Service is not found on the target machine.

Question

Hi,
I'm trying to create a DSC Pull Server with a 2008 R2 SP1 Virtual Machine,
While many of the forums and tutorials have helped, particularly https ://www .google.com/url?url=https://davewyatt.wordpress.com/2014/06/07/how-to-install-a-dsc-pull-server-on-windows-2008-r2/&rct=j&frm=1&q=&esrc=s&sa=U&ei=7BavVKvxMIHEmAWDjoLwBQ&ved=0CBQQFjAA&usg=AFQjCNEUHC8QBHfNgChYXnMQe87rXrHz1g
after installing all of these modules and moving on to later tutorials I'm experiencing an error every time I try to run a pull server configuration scrpit.
After running the script found here: http://www .systemcentercentral.com/day-1-intro-to-powershell-dsc-and-configuring-your-first-pull-server
I then trid to execute that code on the localhost,
it came up with this error:
PowerShell provider MSFT_RoleResource failed to execute Test-TargetResource functionality with error
message: The requested feature DSC-Service is not found on the target machine.
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (:) [], CimException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : ProviderOperationExecutionFailure
+ PSComputerName : localhost
Please Help, I cannot find the DSC-Service Module, and while some scripts have allowed and Pull Server to be created, they do not function peroperly because of this error.
Thanks a lot.
P.S. due to this being a 2008 R2 SP1 machine When then running the command: Add-WindowsFeature DSC-Server (As has been suggested by a lot of soureces) This error Will Come up:
Add-WindowsFeature : ArgumentNotValid: Invalid role, role service, or feature: 'DSC-Service'. The name was
not found.

Hi Anna,
I'm in the same situation as Nathys.
I tried everything you indicated. However, it still does not work. I got the same error:
PowerShell provider MSFT_RoleResource  failed to execute Test-TargetResource functionality with error message: The requested feature DSC-Service is not found on the
target machine.

The SendConfigurationApply function did not succeed.

I have restarted the computer, but it still does not work.
