Hi Rick, I'm not aware of a mechanism that allows one to do that with dsmc/dsm.sys, but Puppet does have the ability to include arbitrary lines in a file, either via a template or directly in a rule definition.
Another option would be to use server-side client option sets: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSGSG7_7.1.1/com.ibm.itsm.srv.doc/t_mgclinod_mkclioptsets.html These options mirror what can be set in dsm.sys, and can either be overridden by the client, or enforced by the server.
