Hi Puppeteers, I hope I can get you advice about the best way to approach using MSIs and other installers on Windows. Currently I am downloading Windows installers from the puppet master with the puppet:// syntax and the "file" type into a temporary directory c:\puppet_temp with subdirectories where necessary. Then after running the installers witht the "package" type, I was

I just installed the latest rc 1.7 to solve another issue I had. It solved the issue, but I''m getting a different issue. I''m running it interactively from an administrator command prompt. It connects to the master puppet server, processes the configuration items then gives an error. The interesting thing is that it never returns to the command prompt. It just hangs. I have

Hi, I want to run Puppet on a Windows 2003 Server. I already have a working Puppetmaster (Scientific Linux). I installed Puppet on Windows like shown here: http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/1/wiki/Puppet_Windows This worked very well. But when I want to run puppet. puppet agent --test --debug I get the following output: (I already tried different ruby and puppet versions without

I recently noticed that the Windows host where I installed the Puppet agent for testing was thrashing the CPU. The culprit ended up being Ruby.exe *32 - "Ruby interpreter (CUI) 1.8.7.334 [i386-mingw32]". This is actually being launched by the puppet-agent service in Windows. The CPU on the host was pegged around 50% all day long. When I shut down the puppet-agent it went down to a

Hi Team, Tried following the steps here http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/1/wiki/Puppet_Windows for deploying an agent on windows (windows server 2008 r2) but really finding it hard to make it work (the agent deployment itself went fine after following the steps).

Hi all, I''m installing the latest version of puppet (opensource) for Windows on Windows 2008 Server (At Amazon EC2). For some reason, Puppet''s scheduled task is configured to run every 20 hours instead of the desired 30 minutes (as shown in - http://docs.puppetlabs.com/windows/running.html) Is it a bug in Puppet? Is it something that I misconfigured? Screenshot of the

Hi, I posted an other problem with puppet and windows weeks ago. With the new Version 2.7.12 those problems were fixed. But now I don''t get puppet to work. I installed puppet as explained here: http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/1/wiki/Puppet_Windows It worked so far. But when I start puppet agent --test --waitforcert 10 I get the following error message:

I noticed that a number of my Windows hosts had stopped dialing in, and upon closer inspection I found that Puppet was crashing in Ruby and wevtapi.dll. I can''t find any reference to this in the issue tracker, although I''ve got over a dozen occurrences in my environment, all with the same descriptions as below. I checked to see if the times were similar, in case the server

We recently fixed the hardwaremodel and architecture facts on Windows as they were always returning i386[1]. The change will be in the upcoming 1.6.10 release of Facter[2]. The new behavior is that hardwaremodel will return something like i686, ia64, x64, etc, while the architecture fact will return either x86 or x64. Since the new behavior will likely affect puppet users that are trying to write

Recently, the issue of copying file modes from remote sources was discussed on the puppet-users mailing list[1], although it equally applies to owner and group. One issue is what permissions to apply to newly created files when none are specified? Historically, Puppet has always copied the permissions from the file source to the newly created one. However, this causes problems on Windows[2]
