Expected Behavior

The current DSC module 4.1.0 supports ArCGIS 11.1 but one part is missing. If you would like to have Server Object Extensions or Server Object Interceptors (SOE and SOI) installed on your ArcGIS Server, you need to install .NET Dekstop 6.0 runtime support. It's mentioned here: https://developers.arcgis.com/enterprise-sdk/guide/net/net-6-support/ and here https://developers.arcgis.com/enterprise-sdk/guide/net/net-6-support/#deploy-net-6-soes-and-sois-to-arcgis-server

If this .NET Desktop runtime is installed, the optional feature ".NET extension support" for ArcGIS Server can be chosen to be installed. This .NET Desktop runtime configuration is currently missing. It is configurable for an ArcGIS Pro installation. See "DotnetDesktopRuntimeDownloadUrl " or "DotnetDesktopRuntimePath" from the variable reference page: https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-powershell-dsc/wiki/v4.1.0-Variables-reference-page-for-JSON-configuration-files

We would need the same for ArcGIS server as it is for ArcGIS Pro.

Actual Behavior

Not implemented
