Cannot parse DSC configuration on WMF 4 #4525

I have successfully parsed and applied DSC configurations in PS Core on Windows 10 and Server 2016. However, I receive errors on 2012R2 when parsing the DSC configuration. The error is basically coming from https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/blob/master/src/System.Management.Automation/DscSupport/CimDSCParser.cs#L683 because BaseRegistration\\MSFT_MetaConfigurationExtensionClasses.Schema.mof does not exist. If I update the server to WMF5, the parsing works.

Is it expected that DSC configuration parsing work on WMF 4?
