You created a VM (VM1) running Windows Server 2019 and you need to enable Desired State Configuration (DSC) for VM1. What should you do first?

Before you can enable Desired State Configuration (DSC) on a virtual machine, the VM must be running. DSC requires the VM's operating system to be active and accessible for the DSC extension to be installed and configured. Starting VM1 ensures that the necessary services and network connectivity are available. Connecting to VM1 is a subsequent step, needed after the VM is running and the DSC extension is being applied or has been applied, to verify its state or perform manual configurations. Capturing a snapshot is a good practice for backup or rollback but isn't a prerequisite for enabling DSC. Configuring a DNS name is for network accessibility and name resolution, not for the DSC enablement process itself.
