The `kind` property defines how DSC should handle the resource. DSC supports several kinds
ofcommand-based DSC Resources: `resource`, `group`, `adapter`, `importer`, and `exporter`.

When `kind` isn't defined in the resource manifest, DSC infers the value for the property. If the
`adapter` property is defined in the resource manifest, DSC infers the value of `kind` as
`Adapter`. If the `adapter` property isn't defined, DSC infers the value of `kind` as `Resource`.
DSC can't infer whether a manifest is for a group resource.
`adapter`. If the `adapter` property isn't defined, DSC infers the value of `kind` as `resource`.

When defining a group resource, always explicitly define the `kind` property in the manifest as
`Group`.

manifest as `importer`.
