---------------------------------------- Bug #11717: Windows ADSI user provider won't create users if a password policy is in place https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/11717 Author: Paul Tinsley Status: In Topic Branch Pending Review Priority: Normal Assignee: Josh Cooper Category: windows Target version: 2.7.x Affected Puppet version: 2.7.9 Keywords: Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/304 The creation of a user in puppet currently creates the account then sets the password, that won't meet the complexity requirement since the password is blank. It's the same behavior you would receive if you went into computer manager and added one by hand with no password. As the provider is currently written this requires a one line code change: <pre> $ diff /cygdrive/c/Users/puppet/Desktop/puppetlabs-puppet-26093a8/lib/puppet/provider/user/windows_adsi.rb puppet/provider/user/windows_adsi.rb 25c25,28 < @user.commit --- > #if a windows complexity policy is set you have to set the password when > the > # account is created, a call to .password is all that is needed it does > it's > # own commit. > @user.password = @resource[:password] </pre> I can't certify this will work in every environment but I have had luck in windows 7 and windows 2003 r2. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
