Summary
Hi all,
My apologies for raising an issue on this, I couldn't find any usefull guidance on an empty getting started page, so I have to trial-and-error.
Goal is to migrate from PSDSC to DSC3.
As a first test, I want to set a different timezone, and that fails using DSC 3.0.0 with PowerShell 7.5 on Windows Server 2022 using ComputerManagementDsc 10.0.0.

Steps to reproduce
The

Expected behavior
A working test for
`dsc resource test --resource ComputerManagementDsc/TimeZone --file C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\test_timezone.json`Actual behavior
