Hi Guys! I played with this a bit and perused the Puppet3 docs, and tried a few different ways of calling the module with no joy before giving in and posting.

I am trying to come up with a workable solution in managing numerous Mac workstations allowing a high degree of flexibility with regards to certs. My puppet environment is setup to application installation on machines that have been ''imaged'' with a base OS and the puppet and facter apps.

Various people have said they are going to UKUUG and I wanted to remind people if they are about and want to discuss puppet, facter, etc they can come along.
