Using PowerShell DSC in Pull mode how do you tell it's finished?

Question

Using PowerShell DSC in Pull mode how do you tell that the set of computers have finished deploying? - For example if the ConfigurationMode=ApplyOnly or ApplyAndMonitor, our operations guys would like to know when it's 'done'.

(We're planning on using the file download manager in our case - perhaps this doesn't have any bearing on the above.)

You need to use the DSC Compliance or conformance endpoint. This can be installed along with DSC Pull service (REST-based). This provides an oData endoint which has the Status method returning NodeCompliant property. This property tell you if the last configuration run was successful or not.
