I have some Windows systems that I need to configure a user's profile. The user has to be logged into for the profile to be created. I came up with the solution below but it seems kinda hacky. I assume there is a better way to get the same effect without having a class inside a class? Is there a way to set a stage on a class when using hiera? I am using Windows 7 x64, Puppet Open Source 3.4.2, and Hiera 1.3.1 autologon.pp manifest class autologon ($username, $password) { stage { 'user-creation': before => Stage['main'], } class {'autologon-internal': stage => user-creation, username => $username, password => $password, } reboot { 'user-creation': subscribe => Stage['user-creation'] } class autologon-internal ($username, $password) { user { $username: ensure => present, groups => 'Users', membership => inclusive, password => $password, } registry_value { "HKLM\\software\\microsoft\\windows nt\\currentversion\\winlogon\\defaultusername": ensure => present, type => string, data => $username, } registry_value { "HKLM\\software\\microsoft\\windows nt\\currentversion\\winlogon\\defaultdomainname": ensure => present, type => string, data => $hostname, } registry_value { "HKLM\\software\\microsoft\\windows nt\\currentversion\\winlogon\\defaultpassword": ensure => present, type => string, data => $password, } registry_value { "HKLM\\software\\microsoft\\windows nt\\currentversion\\winlogon\\autoadminlogon": ensure => present, type => string, data => '1', } } } hiera yaml file --- classes: - autologon autologon::username: "myusername" autologon::password: "mypassword" -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
