AI Summary: The user's DSC resource for WSUS fails when WSUS is configured with SSL because the `Get-WsusServer` cmdlet, used for testing configuration, returns a "401 not authorized" error without the `-UseSSL` parameter. This causes DSC to repeatedly attempt reconfiguration. The user requests a new parameter for the DSC resource to indicate SSL usage, which would then correctly use `Get-WsusServer -UseSSL` for status checks.
