********************************************************************************
This first pass of this script is designed to fail (by trying to create an
endpoint before the toolkit is ready).
 
We do this to illustrate the nature of convergence.
Every time DSC runs, it skips the things that are in the correct state and tries
to fix the things that aren't in the correct state.

Now we do a Get and notice that it doesn't show much in the converge state

This is the second pass of this script and now everything should work.
Read the VERBOSE messages and notice the lines that contain this:
            LCM: [ Skip Set ]
Those are the resources that are already in the Desired State
