[Puppet Users] Question on task deletion using scheduled_task
I have a very simple scheduled_task resource defined.
class delete_task {
scheduled_task { ''testing123'':
name => "test_task",
ensure => absent,
}
}
I created this "test_task" by hand using the Windows Task Scheduler
GUI.
When I use Puppet and apply my resource, the task didn''t get delete.
On the other case if I create this "test_task" using Puppet. The task
will
be created and I be able to delete the task using my delete_task resource.
scheduled_task { ''testing321'':
name => "test_task",
ensure => present,
enabled => true,
command => ''C:\Windows\system32\notepad.exe'',
trigger => {
schedule => daily,
every => 2, # Defaults to 1
start_date => ''2011-08-31'', # Defaults to
''today''
start_time => ''08:00'', # Must be specified
}
My question is whether this behavior is expected? Does Puppet only allow
you to delete a task that Puppet creates?
Thanks
David

However, if you are on Vista/2008/2012, and use the GUI to create the task, by default it gets created using the v2 API, which puppet cannot manage. There should be an option to create an older style task, in which case, puppet should be able to manage it. Longer term, I''d like to create a new scheduled_task provider that supports the v2 interface on platforms where that''s available.
