Puppet provides the erb templating system so you can do variable expansion and replacement in your templates. The templates are processed on the puppet master and sent to the client (windows) as text. The windows client then replaces the old config file with the new one from the template.
Step 1) Copy an existing config file into your puppet module's template section. Name it config_file.erb Step 2) Replace variables in the config file with puppet facts or variables from your manifests Example: If a line said: listen_address = 192.168.0.5 You would change it to: listen_address = <%= $::ipaddress %> Step 3) Run Puppet on the client. Nothing should change on the first client, but all subsequent clients will be easier to configure.
