Ken / Deepak, first of all thanks a ton for the great help.
It seems there is some issue with the "puppet facts upload" command" I already have the certname & server configuration directives declared in the puppet.conf but for some reason the same are not being recognized by the puppet facts command When I am trying to run *# puppet facts upload* ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) *Error: getaddrinfo: Name or service not knownError: Try 'puppet help facts upload' for usage* But when I try to run *# puppet facts upload --server="puppet_master_server" --certname="agent_certname"*ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) *Notice: Uploaded facts for 'agent_certname'* Also I tried to use the postrun_command within the puppet.conf on the client node but I end up getting the same error. Please let me know if there is something that I am missing, as I am planning to either use "puppet facts upload" within my manifest or in the postrun command. Awaiting your reply. Thanks & Regards, Rakesh K.
