Puppet users - Oct 2014 - Best way to deploy the Puppet client to a large set of Windows servers?

Hello all,

There may come a need for me to perform a wide deployment of the Puppet 
client to Windows servers. I am curious to know how others have 
accomplished this.

Concerns I have:

- No other tools are in place that readily come to mind for pushing the 
client out. VCM is in play, but is difficult at best to deploy other 
applications with. The client could certainly be placed on a central file 
share, but pulling rather than pushing sounds like it will require direct 
Sysadmin involvement.

- To ease the pain I could set the Puppet Master to auto-sign certificates 
for a small window of time, but am unsure if this would be worthwhile.

- I can imagine a "patch party" where a bunch of Sysadmins each get a
list
of servers to go hand perform the installation on, but I am hoping for 
something much cleaner than this.
