I'm trying to use a File resource to copy a lot of files, around 20,000 of them spanning 3000 directories. While DSC does work in deploying the files, I run into a problem when I try to test for them. Everything works fine if I have just a few files in the resource, but if I ever load in my full set in that break things. I can get Test-DSCConfiguration on the target node and get a True result (after increasing the memory on my test server from 4 gigs to 16 gigs), but Get-DSCConfiguration throws this error:

Get-DscConfiguration : The WBEM Server limits have been exceeded (e.g. memory, connections, ...).
At line:1 char:1
+ Get-DscConfiguration
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 + CategoryInfo : ResourceBusy: (MSFT\_DSCLocalConfigurationManager:root/Microsoft/...gurationManager) [Get
 -DscConfiguration], CimException
 + FullyQualifiedErrorId : MI RESULT 27,Get-DscConfiguration

The configuration is simple:

`File ServerBox {
 Ensure = "Present" 
 Type = "Directory"
 Recurse = $true
 MatchSource = $true
 Force = $true
 Checksum = "modifiedDate"
 SourcePath = "\\DevOps\ServerBox"
 DestinationPath = "D:\ServerBox"
}`

At first I thought the problem was memory, as I couldn't even get Test-DSCConfiguration to run, but that one threw memory errors, so once I added more to the system I could at least get a True result from the Test. But Get-DSCConfiguration still doesn't function.

Anyone have any insight into the WBEM errors?
