Hi All, Following the instructions on http://www.copperykeenclaws.com/setting-up-puppet-on-windows/#comment-1201 I was able to connect Windows Agent to Puppet Master. Since my VM got disconnected, I thought of again connecting again and I cleared all the certificates from Windows-Agent as well as Unix-Master. I cleared ca.pem file from the Agent, and ca.pem and learn.localdomain.pem from the master. After deleting all the certificates, I attempted to execute the command puppet agent --test --verbose --server learn.localdomain . I got response as *Info: Caching certificate for ca* *Info: Caching certificate for igtggn11002.interglobetechnologies.com* *Info: Retrieving plugin* *Info: Loading facts in C:/ProgramData/PuppetLabs/puppet/var/lib/facter/concat_ba**sedir.rb* *Info: Loading facts in C:/ProgramData/PuppetLabs/puppet/var/lib/facter/custom_au**th_conf.rb* *Info: Loading facts in C:/ProgramData/PuppetLabs/puppet/var/lib/facter/facter_do**t_d.rb* *Info: Loading facts in C:/ProgramData/PuppetLabs/puppet/var/lib/facter/ip6tables**_version.rb* *Info: Loading facts in C:/ProgramData/PuppetLabs/puppet/var/lib/facter/iptables_* *persistent_version.rb* *Info: Loading facts in C:/ProgramData/PuppetLabs/puppet/var/lib/facter/iptables_**version.rb* *Info: Loading facts in C:/ProgramData/PuppetLabs/puppet/var/lib/facter/pe_versio**n.rb* *Info: Loading facts in C:/ProgramData/PuppetLabs/puppet/var/lib/facter/postgres_* *default_version.rb* *Info: Loading facts in C:/ProgramData/PuppetLabs/puppet/var/lib/facter/puppetdb_**server_status.rb* *Info: Loading facts in C:/ProgramData/PuppetLabs/puppet/var/lib/facter/puppet_va**rdir.rb* *Info: Loading facts in C:/ProgramData/PuppetLabs/puppet/var/lib/facter/root_home**.rb* *Info: Loading facts in C:/ProgramData/PuppetLabs/puppet/var/lib/facter/windows.r**b* Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Faile *d to submit 'replace facts' command for igtggn11002.interglobetechnologies.com t* *o PuppetDB at learn.localdomain:8081: SSL_connect SYSCALL returned=5 errno=0 sta* te=SSLv3 read finished A Warning: Not using cache on failed catalog Error: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run Why is it not attempting to create the new certificate ?
