Error: Unable to find service named autofs in systemd. RHEL8.1

[mrpullen]

Attempting to deploy the RHEL79.MOF file from ato-toolkit using the latest DSC for linux release 1.2. Seems to work without issues until it reaches a nxService resource - then fails.

Error: Unable to find service named autofs in systemd.
2021/05/13 15:58:25: ERROR: null(0): EventId=1 Priority=ERROR Job FE792666-948D-4600-A1AD-08060B9E1C4A :
This event indicates that failure happens when LCM is processing the configuration. ErrorId is 1. ErrorDetail is The SendConfigurationApply function did not succeed.. ResourceId is [nxService][V-204451][medium][SRG-OS-000114-GPOS-00059]::[RHEL]Baseline and SourceInfo is C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\PowerStig\4.8.0\DSCResources\Resources\linux.nxService.ps1::13::9::nxService. ErrorMessage is A general error occurred, not covered by a more specific error code..

From the MOF that specific resourceId looks like this

instance of MSFT_nxServiceResource as $MSFT_nxServiceResource1ref
{
ResourceID = "[nxService][V-204451][medium][SRG-OS-000114-GPOS-00059]::[RHEL]Baseline";
 Controller = "systemd";
 Enabled = False;
 SourceInfo = "C:\\Program Files\\WindowsPowerShell\\Modules\\PowerStig\\4.8.0\\DSCResources\\Resources\\linux.nxService.ps1::13::9::nxService";
 Name = "autofs";
 ModuleName = "nx";
 ModuleVersion = "1.0";

 ConfigurationName = "LinuxBaseLine";

};

Installing omi-server and dsc with the following script

# Install repository configuration
curl -sSL https://packages.microsoft.com/config/rhel/8/prod.repo | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/microsoft-prod.repo

# Install Microsoft's GPG public key
curl -sSL https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc > ./microsoft.asc

## Import
sudo rpm --import ./microsoft.asc

## Install OMI
sudo yum -y install omi

sudo wget https://github.com/microsoft/PowerShell-DSC-for-Linux/releases/download/v1.2.0-0/dsc-1.2.0-0.ssl_110.x64.rpm
sudo rpm -Uvh dsc-1.2.0-0.ssl_110.x64.rpm

## now DSC is installed - what do we do about it.

Thanks.

Which Operating system distro are you using? please share version details from /etc/os-release
Can you please share the OMI version on the machine. This dsc versions requires omi to be >= 1.6.8
Also the following logs will help investigate issue further, can you please upload those and share a link:
