    cWindowsContainer MyAppContainer {
        Ensure = 'Present'
        Name = 'MyAppContainer'
        StartUpScript = '"Hello World" | out-file c:\hello.txt'
        ContainerImageName = 'NanoServer'
    }
}

Deploy container from Nano image with multi-line startup script and specifying Container Hostname

configuration MultiLineConfigContainer {
    param (
        [String] $StartupScript
    )
    Import-DscResource -ModuleName cWindowsContainer -ModuleVersion 1.1

    cWindowsContainer MyDCContainer {
        Ensure = 'Present'
        Name = 'MyDCContainer'
        StartUpScript = $StartupScript
        ContainerImageName = 'NanoServer'
        ContainerType = 'HyperV'
        ContainerComputerName = 'MyContainer'
    }
}

$script = @'
$computername = $env:COMPUTERNAME
$computername.tolower() | out-file c:\compname.txt
'@

```powershell
configuration RemContainer {
    Import-DscResource -ModuleName cWindowsContainer -ModuleVersion 1.1

    cWindowsContainer MyAppContainer {

    Import-DscResource -ModuleName cWindowsContainer -ModuleVersion 1.1

    cWindowsContainer NginX {
