Looks like the "options" parameter is missing in my local code, but no on this Github. I think the file was not pushed to PSGallery in 8.5.0 somehow.

You have to use the latest preview version on the Gallery. The wiki always reflect the latest release, preview or full release.

[johlju]

On the wiki Home it shows what the latest release is, in this case ComputerManagementDsc v8.6.0-preview0002.
