[Puppet Users] Puppet Agent on Windows and file paths 32 or 64 Bit

Hi,

I just started using puppet agent on windows 32Bit and my manfiests are 
working good so far. Now when using the same manifests on a 64Bit Windows 
machine I get trouble about the very special Program Files path. :(

Is there a way of using a variable in puppet manifests and the puppet agent 
automatically uses the correct Program Files (x86) folder on 64Bit 
machines? I checked the facts on the windows machine but it seems that 
64Bit is not correctly reported so using a fact to distinguish is not 
possible atm.

I''m using puppet 2.7.13

Facter 1.6.10 will correctly report 32-bit or 64-bit architecture and
hardwaremodel. See http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/10261.
However, there is still a bug where a 32-bit OS running on 64-bit
hardware is reported as 64 instead of 32. See
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/16948. As a result, you may
need to do something like:
https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-dism/blob/master/lib/puppet/provider/dism/dism.rb#L7

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet Agent on Windows and file paths 32 or 64 Bit

Hi Josh,

thanks a lot for pointing this out. I will update the install on all 
windows machines to the latest puppet 2.7.x release. This updates facter 
and the architecture is correctly display unless it''s running 32Bit on 
64Bit hardware.

Regards,
Oliver

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet Agent on Windows and file paths 32 or 64 Bit

Hey Oliver,

You can use my winfacts module, or just strip out the os_archtecture fact 
from it:

https://github.com/adenning/winfacts/blob/master/lib/facter/os_architecture.rb

That will correctly handle 32-bit OS on 64-bit hardware.

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet Agent on Windows and file paths 32 or 64 Bit

Hi Adam,

thanks a lot. I have successfully implemented your or_architecture fact on 
our machines. But it looks like it is not workung under Windows 2003 
32Bit.I have to check this...

Oli

Hi Adam,

The class
Win32_OperatingSystem<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394239%28VS.85%29.aspx>exists
on Vista and above. For older systems you can use
Win32_ComputerSystem<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394102%28VS.85%29.aspx>.
I found this information here:

http://www.adminarsenal.com/admin-arsenal-blog/bid/19689/Determining-OS-Architecture

The following minor change did the trick for windows 2003.

Facter.add(:os_architecture) do
  confine :operatingsystem => :windows
  setcode do
    result = ''''
    require ''win32ole''
    wmi = WIN32OLE.connect(''winmgmts://./root/CIMV2'')
        winver = Facter.value(''kernelmajversion'')
        case winver
        when /5.2|5.1|5.0/
                query = wmi.ExecQuery(''select SystemType from 
Win32_ComputerSystem'')
                query.each do |os|
                        result = os.SystemType
                        break
                end
                if result == "X86-based PC"
                        result = "32-bit"
                else
                        result = "64-bit"
                end
                result
        else
                query = wmi.ExecQuery(''select OSArchitecture from 
Win32_OperatingSystem'')
                query.each do |os|
                        result = os.OSArchitecture
                        break
                end
    result
        end
  end
end

Have a nice weekend.

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet Agent on Windows and file paths 32 or 64 Bit

Hey Oliver,

I finally got around to working on this today, and discovered I fixed it 
long ago and completely forgot to push the change to github. oops :)

Looks like I took a different approach.

https://github.com/adenning/winfacts/blob/master/lib/facter/os_architecture.rb

I only run Puppet on Windows 7 and XP nodes (yeah that''s right), but I
can
confirm this handles 32-bit OS on x64 and accounts for some variations I 
ran into with various embedded Windows.
