When listing available resources using dsc resource list , the only one i manage to use is "Registry".

Hey @lhommeleplusclassedumonde, as far as I know, the current documentation (including reference), can be found in the DSC repository. These will eventually be synced to Microsoft Learn (this repository). For example, if you wanna do something with WMI, you can find an example here. You can follow the issue to see what's getting updated overtime :)

You can use the dsc resource list command to show every adapted resource. The linked example shows discovering the adapted PSDSC resources.

We'll shortly sync the reference documentation for the adapters over to the live site.

Just wanted to point out that the example files here are empty, despite being ticked off in the issue mentioned above:

Mhm.. I don't think the examples directory will be synced to this repository 🤔
