Description

Details of the scenario you tried and the problem that is occurring

Verbose output of Get-TargetResource returns Microsoft.UpdateServices.Internal.BaseApi.UpdateServer instead of WSUS server name

Verbose logs showing the problem

VERBOSE: [SRV1]: LCM:  [ Start  Resource ]  [[UpdateServicesApprovalRule]Approval]
VERBOSE: [SRV1]: LCM:  [ Start  Test     ]  [[UpdateServicesApprovalRule]Approval]
VERBOSE: [SRV1]:                            [[UpdateServicesApprovalRule]Approval] Identified WSUS server information: Microsoft.UpdateServices.Internal.BaseApi.UpdateServer
VERBOSE: [SRV1]: LCM:  [ End    Test     ]  [[UpdateServicesApprovalRule]Approval]  in 0.0470 seconds.
VERBOSE: [SRV1]: LCM:  [ Skip   Set      ]  [[UpdateServicesApprovalRule]Approval]
VERBOSE: [SRV1]: LCM:  [ End    Resource ]  [[UpdateServicesApprovalRule]Approval]

Suggested solution to the issue

Write-Verbose -Message ('Identified WSUS server information: {0}' -f $WsusServer)

Change the line to:

Write-Verbose -Message ('Identified WSUS server information: {0}' -f $WsusServer.Name)
