Puppet users - Sep 2013 - Configuring a Windows Domain Controller (DC) using puppet

Hi

Has anyone tried configuring a windows 2008 server as a Domain controller 
using puppet manifests?

I am looking for the DC to act as a DHCP, DNS server and setup Active 
Directory Domain services.

Thanks
Harsh

If you want to build a dc, dcpromo creates and uses a scripted unattended
file.http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732887.aspx

 You could easily use an exec resource to run dcpromo.  Use an unless param
script to see if target is a dc already.

Dhcp shouldn''t be colo on a dc, but you could add roles with dism
module and leverage powershell module to do anything you want. In 2012 dcpromo
is powershell...

HTH,
Rich

Hi Rich

dcpromo.exe with an answers file is a great idea. Thanks for that ! This 
will give me a machine with DC and DNS (but not a DHCP server).

Since I am working with a test environment, I will be having DHCP, DNS and 
DC on the same 2008 R2 machine. Do you have references I can use to add a 
DHCP role too? I am not too familiar with dism.

Thanks
Harsh
