Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet agent is not running on Windows 11

[Jim Moser]

What does the contents of your puppet.conf look like on the host. It
appears that the agent is trying to reach the hostname puppet but cannot
resolve the name in DNS or on the local host file. You should have entries
in the puppet.conf that looks something like this

[main]
server=myserver.mydomain.com

[agent]
certname=mynode.mydomain.com

Re: [Puppet Users] puppet master --compile giving "Warning: Unknown variable: " for Facts

[Jim Perry]

The prepended colons are actually the way Puppet 4 guides say to do it
now.  It is just odd and why I tossed it out to the forum.

Re: [Puppet Users] Best way to set variables based on packages installed on client?

[Jim Perry]

Thanks.

While I see that Ansible is a nice tool, the clientless access requiring a
login has a fatal flaw when compared to puppet.

More than once we have had a PAM, SSHD or similar setup get corrupted over
dozens, if not all, systems. We were able to fix in Puppet and get the
corrections pushed out. With Ansible we would have needed to hard shut then
down and come up in single user mode.

In fact this very post is related to ensuring we can fix issues with PAM
related to our third party AD with tool.  We had a typo in the setup that
locked all access, even console, out because we broke PAM.

now they bought ansible I don't think they will make investments in better
support. IMHO Puppet 4 is still not supported on the satellite 6 server.

Re: [Puppet Users] Outofmemory error for puppetserver process

Hi Matthaus,

Assume its a production environment would we have allowed that ? What I'm

Is that possible?

Re: [Puppet Users] Outofmemory error for puppetserver process

[Jim]

Hi Matthaus,

My hostname is misleading. I upgraded at the time of posting to Ubuntu 
15.10. Now I have upgraded to 16.04.

I ran the command you suggested instead of service puppetserver start and I 
don't see OutOfMemory errors process.

root@jim-Ubuntu1504:~# ps -aef|grep -i puppet|grep -v grep
root  1116 1  0 19:34 ?00:00:02

/etc/puppetlabs/puppetserver/conf.d --bootstrap-config 
/etc/puppetlabs/puppetserver/bootstrap.cfg
root@jim-Ubuntu1504:~# 


Also when I do see that error as like below when I do Ctrl + C and execute 
service puppetserver start I get the OutOfMemory error like below.

root@jim-Ubuntu1504:~# ps -aef|grep -i puppet|grep -v grep
root  1116 1  0 19:34 ?00:00:02

--pidfile=/var/run/puppetlabs/mcollective.pid --daemonize
puppet3386 1 66 22:41 ?00:00:45 /usr/bin/java 
-XX:OnOutOfMemoryError=kill -9 %p -Djava.security.egd=/dev/urandom -Xms512m 
-Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -cp 
/opt/puppetlabs/server/apps/puppetserver/puppet-server-release.jar 
clojure.main -m puppetlabs.trapperkeeper.main --config 
/etc/puppetlabs/puppetserver/conf.d -b 
/etc/puppetlabs/puppetserver/bootstrap.cfg
root@jim-Ubuntu1504:~# 

I wonder if I am doing start-up incorrectly ? Either even in this state 
where it sayOutOfMemoryError my puppetserver still serves all of its 
agents. The reason I say so is I changed motd file on all agents + 
installed vim package on agents.

I am not sure which is the right method to start the server ? Also instead 
of running in foreground can I run it in background using nohup ?

Regards,
Jim

Any idea which log file to look at when I run the service puppetserver 
start command?

Re: [Puppet Users] Outofmemory error for puppetserver process

[Jim]

Hi Johan,

I did try 512m option not just 256m before posting. and it didn't work. The 
link which you have provided talks basically about 

1. Changing parameters for java options
2. max active instances(Its commented out by default)
3.num-cpus configuration. I did recursive grep but couldn't find it. 
Puppetlabs says that they ship it anyway with low value so I don't think 
that should be cause or concerb.

I would probably get hold of logs and see if I can find any valuable 
information.

Kind Regards,
Jim

Hi Harish,

I tried to do a simulation at my end and it might be because of syntax 
error. Please provide some feedback.

[Puppet Users] Outofmemory error for puppetserver process

[Jim]

Hey Guys,

I am wondering what is the problem with the following puppetserver process 
and how to have it resolved.

Interesting thing is puppetserver is still running ! and is able to 
communicate it with agents so I am not sure what is the problem !

I still have 2GB of free memory on my VM

As you can see I have set puppetserver memory to as low as 256MB. I tried 
to change it to 512MB as well but still it reports "OutOfMemory" so kept it 
on 256MB anyway.

Here is the output which confirms that puppetserver is running.

[Puppet Users] What is the meaning of all these different version commands

[Jim]

root@jim-Ubuntu1504:/etc/puppetlabs/code/environments# puppet --version
4.4.1
root@jim-Ubuntu1504:/etc/puppetlabs/code/environments# puppetserver 
--version
puppetserver version: 2.3.1
root@jim-Ubuntu1504:/etc/puppetlabs/code/environments# puppet agent 
--version
4.4.1

Also If I want to upgrade my Ubuntu from 15.10 to 16.04 would the puppet 
server and agent would also get upgraded?

Please advise.


Thanks
Jim

[Puppet Users] Re: Custom Facts for windows with powershell

[Jim]

Hi Harish,

I am new to powershell and would like t help you although I am new to 
puppet itself.

In your powershell command why are you looking for registry key 'Uninstall' 
should it be Installed?

Please advise.

Thanks
Jim

[Puppet Users] Puppetlabs-firewall Parser Error

[Jim Coulter]

I have successfully tested the firewall module with puppetserver 1.0.8 and 
puppet agent 3.7.5 on test nodes with fresh installs of Rhel 6.6 but when I 
try running on an older node I'm getting the following error:

Error: /Stage[main]/Main/Resources[firewall]: Failed to generate additional 
resources using 'generate': Parser error: isfragment was meant to be a 
boolean but received value: 8

I confirmed all the nodes are running iptables 1.4.7

This is the output of puppet resource firewall --debug --verbose on the 
failing node:

Debug: Runtime environment: run_mode=user, ruby_version=1.8.7, 
puppet_version=3.7.5
Debug: Puppet::Type::Firewall::ProviderIptables: [instances]
Debug: Executing '/sbin/iptables-save'
Error: Could not run: Parser error: isfragment was meant to be a boolean 
but received value: 8


Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this error?

[Puppet Users] Create Windows Service

[Jim Miller]

Hello everyone,

I haven't seen a Puppet module to create a windows service so I've hacked 
something together as a Defined Type instead of a Parameterized Class 
(mainly because I want to call it for multiple services) and I would 
appreciate feedback and suggestions for improvements.  I'm having a few 
issues where it wants to install/setup the service multiple times as well 
as trying to start the service and wondering if there's a better way. 
 Please excuse type-o's and such, I wrote it pretty fast.

[Puppet Users] Not all host reports in PuppetDB

[Jim Miller]

Hello everyone,

I hadn't noticed until recently but a large % of host reports are not 
getting into PuppetDB and I looking for ways to determine what the cause 
is.  I could see an all or nothing but not this.  I'm not worried about the 
data for those hosts but I'm un-sure what steps to take.  I sure hope this 
is an easy fix.  

For example in the puppetdb.log file, I'm seeing for some hosts where 
reports are getting stored and facts and catalogs are getting replaced.  
For other hosts just replacing facts and catalogs are getting replaced.

I don't understand enough of the internals to know what to do here and I'm 
not sure how to peer into the database.  I did upgrade from an pretty old 
version of PuppetDB (1.x something to 2.3.3) and I can't help but feel that 
could be the cause but I'm just guessing.

We did use Puppetboard but now use Puppetboard.

Here's the relevant config values for puppet.conf -- just the master section
[master]
certname = puppet.ourdomain.com
report = true
# reports log, store for non-dashboard or puppetdb
# reports = log,store
reports = http,puppetdb,rrdgraph
reporturl = http://puppet.centric.com:3000/reports/upload  # Broke and 
no longer processing
   # removed by Jim 5/8/2015
   #  ### CONFIGS FOR PUPPET-DASHBOARD
   #  node_terminus = exec
   #  external_nodes = /usr/bin/env 
PUPPET_DASHBOARD_URL=http://puppet.centric.com:3000 
/usr/share/puppet-dashboard/bin/external_node
### CONFIGS FOR PUPPETDB
storeconfigs = true
storeconfigs_backend = puppetdb
ssldir = $vardir/ssl

We're running 
Puppet Server 3.7.5
PuppetDB and PuppetDB-Terminus 2.3.3

[Puppet Users] Re: Puppet Environments change after upgrading to 3.7.5

[Jim Miller]

I do have one update to this.  The issue seems to be the modulepath, and 
what comes after the ':'
modulepath = $confdir/environments/dev/modules:
$confdir/environments/dev/site/modules

Puppet is not finding catalogs/modules after the ':'

err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: 
Could not find class mywebsite::profiles::web::site_web_dev for

Again, 

Any suggestions would be _greatly_ appreciated.



Thanks,

[Puppet Users] Re: Puppet Environments change after upgrading to 3.7.5

[Jim Miller]

Still wrestling with this.  Puppet is now seeing 'part' of the module paths 
but not all of them, one thing I had to change was using an absolute path 
and not '$confdir' and it's not using the correct site.pp file 
non-prod_site.pp

[ ~ ]# puppet config print --environment test |grep env
environment_timeout = 0
modulepath = /etc/puppet/environments/test/modules
:/etc/puppet/modules:/usr/share/puppet/modules
environment = test
environmentpath = /etc/puppet/environments
disable_per_environment_manifest = false

[ ~ ]# puppet config print --environment test |grep mani
manifest = /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp
default_manifest = /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp
genmanifest = false
manifestdir = /etc/puppet/manifests
disable_per_environment_manifest = false

[TEST] - environments.conf
[ ~ ]# cat /etc/puppet/environments/environments.conf
-
 # manifest = $confdir/manifests/non-prod_site.pp
 manifest = /etc/puppet/manifests/non-prod_site.pp
 # modulepath = 
$confdir/environments/test/modules:$confdir/environments/test/site/modules
 modulepath =

Re: [Puppet Users] Help with provider inheritance of Josh Cooper's Exec PowerShell Provider

[Jim Ficarra]

So for what it’s worth, I stopped inheriting the powershell provider and just 
utilized some of the code in the provider to build the powershell command 
method, write the file out to temp, return the native path, and call 
Puppet::Util::Execution.Execute() directly.  Seems to achieve what I want and 
lets me remove all the extraneous extra parameters I don’t need.

So in this case, provider inheritance wasn’t my friend.

Exec PowerShell Provider

Ok – so it seems the the underlying base classes of my provider are expecting 
the parameters and their validations from the exec type instead of my new type 
– makes sense.  I was able to test that theory out by adding the parameters 
(and in many cases copying the parameters from the exec type) being validated 
to my new type, but that’s not exactly what I was hoping for.  I did get to the 
point where it’s writing out the temp ps1 file and executing, but now I have 
some challenges on the return output.

I was trying to avoid direct execution of calling cmd.exe with powershell and 
re-inventing the wheel because it’s been done so well with the powershell 
provider, and it avoids some of the escape hell with double quotes if trying to 
pass them on the command line.

I’m likely going about this the wrong way (e.g. going overboard) but if anyone 
wants to provide guidance from the realm of sanity, please feel free.

I'm as newbie as they come to both Ruby and custom provider development, so 
apologies if I'm missing the obvious up front. :)

I want to write a custom type/provider to manage IIS Settings. I realize that 
there are at least 3 IIS modules in the forge already (and we are using one of 
them) but I am attempting to write my own because 1) I want to learn how to 
write custom providers and not just defined types in Puppet DSL and 2) The 
existing IIS modules don't hit all the granular configurations I need to manage 
so I have a bunch of execs I need to reign in.

That said, the first type/provider I'm playing with is to simply enable and 
disable Logging in IIS at the server and site level.  I am trying to inherit 
from Josh Cooper's Powershell provider because it executes PowerShell, does it 
well:)  

I sometimes see the temp powershell file being written to temp then disappear, 
but it seems I've hit a wall on the exists? method right out of the gate.  When 
I do a puppet run, I get the error:

Error: /Stage[main]/Test_tools/Iis_logging[TestLogging]: Could not evaluate: 
Invalid parameter cwd(:cwd)

Any insight would be appreciated.  Relevant code below.

Re: [Puppet Users] Best way to deploy the Puppet client to a large set of Windows servers?

[Jim Ficarra]

In our organization, we created a chocolatey package for the puppet client 
hosted on our internal nuget server.  We then created a powershell module that 
includes several tools for our environment, one of which remotely invokes the 
installation of chocolatey on windows systems in parallel, and another to 
invoke the installation of the chocolatey puppet package from our internal 
nuget server, also in parallel.  The chocolatey package contains the majority 
of the MSI properties for configuration, and we leverage the installargs option 
to pass in the puppet environment we need to point to.  The “meat” for this is 
just looping through a bunch of invoke-commands and running them as jobs after 
passing in one or more servers with a simple text file manifest.  This avoids 
the “patch party” scenario.

Of course the above depends on having WinRM configured as Rob mentioned.  If 
you do have WinRM enabled, you can take out the chocolatey package 
pre-requisite as in our case (e.g. if you don’t have a nuget server setup), and 
then still build a simple PowerShell script to use invoke-command kick off  the 
installation of the msi with parameters on multiple servers, as jobs, so they 
occur in parallel.  You could have the msi hosted on a share to access during 
the installation.

Do you have any tools such as Microsoft System Center to package and deploy? 
That would be another way to do this, or a myriad of other tools that can be 
used to deploy.  For example, I’ve not used psexec for puppet, but you could 
try to use psexec from www.sysinternals.com to execute as well.  It has an 
option (-c) to copy the the program to the remote system before it executes, so 
that can serve to ensure the MSI is available on the remote node.  Note that 
psexec does create a windows service on the remote server – so there’s a trace 
left behind you may need to clean up (yuck). 

Hope this helps.

-Jim

Hello all, 

There may come a need for me to perform a wide deployment of the Puppet 
client to Windows servers. I am curious to know how others have accomplished 
this.

Concerns I have:

- No other tools are in place that readily come to mind for pushing the 
client out. VCM is in play, but is difficult at best to deploy other 
applications with. The client could certainly be placed on a central file 
share, but pulling rather than pushing sounds like it will require direct 
Sysadmin involvement.

- To ease the pain I could set the Puppet Master to auto-sign certificates 
for a small window of time, but am unsure if this would be worthwhile.

- I can imagine a patch party where a bunch of Sysadmins each get a list 
of servers to go hand perform the installation on, but I am hoping for 
something much cleaner than this.

  I'm not sure yet if we have an official/recommended way of getting the agent 
installed. I believe we are working on making this process easier though.

  So now an alternative recommendation of going about it - 

  Is WinRm configured on these servers? I'm guessing no b/c they are stock. If 
so you have a much easier time moving forward, but it is not configured by 
default. So the next option is Wmi calls.

  There is a really low level Wmi call you can make to  Win32_Process.Create[1] 
that you can use to create a process to install the puppet agent if you have 
administrative privileges. You can do this remotely. This works with Windows 
OOTB.


  If one could connect, you could pass a command to msiexec to run the 
installer with a url to the agent msi. You would want to put it on a file share 
that all of these servers can access (or use the official download).  Take a 
look at automated installation[2] and msi properties[3].

  So you could set your call as msiexec and args /qn /i 
\\file\share\location\of\puppet.msi PUPPET_MASTER_SERVER=puppet.example.com

  You could run that command as fire and forget and wait for them to all finish 
up as they check in with the master. I did a little searching and found a 
couple of gems out there that are related to WMI[4][5].

  Note: I once worked on a tool where we did something very similar to this.

Re: [Puppet Users] windows mount points

[Jim Ficarra]

Have you declared the folder before the file resource? Something like this:

file {'c:/srv':
   ensure = 'directory',
}

file {'c:/srv/newfile':
   ensure= 'file',
   source= 'puppet:///modules/mymodule/myfile.txt',
   require= File['c:/srv'],
}

It's not clear what the source of your file is so as part of the example I 
arbitrarily specified it coming from the files folder from puppet.  The key 
take-away item is to declare the folder and ensure that the file resource(s) 
are dependent on the folder being there regardless of your choice of 
chaining and ordering syntax you choose, variables, et.


Hope that helps.

Hi,

On windows hosts, I've taken to putting all my app data in c:\srv, mimicing

An attempt to define a file resource within this location fails with:

If I create subdirectories here by hand, the puppet run proceeds just fine. 
Has anyone else come across this behavior?


I'm running puppet 3.4.2 at the moment. Happy to upgrade but I can't find

Re: [Puppet Users] How can we satisfy goals of having all data in hiera and not modifying the module code?

[Jim Ficarra]

You could setup setup the host-specific yaml as:

vhost:“first.example.com”
port:  “80”
priority:“10”
docroot:“/var/www/first”

Then your module:

$vhost = hiera(‘vhost’)
$port = hiera(‘port’)
$priority = hiera(‘priority’)
$docroot: = hiera(‘docroot’)

apache::vhost { $vhost:
  port= $port,
  priority = $priority,
  docroot = $docroot,
}

This would allow you completely segregate the configuration from the data and 
not require modification of the module code unless something in the 
configuration changes.  You could use common.yaml for configuration data that 
applies to all hosts.

Subject: [Puppet Users] How can we satisfy goals of having all data in hiera 
and not modifying the module code?

We understand that all site specific data should be in Hiera. We also 
understand that modules shouldn't have to be modified when they are well 
designed e.g. the puppetlabs/apache module. However, how do I setup apache 
using this module with a virtual host without putting data into the manifest. 
E.g to create a vhost according to the docs we need to use:


apache::vhost { 'first.example.com':
  port= '80',
  docroot = '/var/www/first',
}


As a define it would appear that we need to use create_resources() somewhere in 
the module and then create a hash in hiera e.g.


apache::my_vhosts:
  host1:
priority: 10
vhost_name: first.example.com
port: 80
docroot: /var/www/first


This means that we either need to put data into the manifest (e.g. first 
example) or to change the module code by implementing create_resources(). So 
how can we satisfy both goals of having all data in hiera and not modifying the 
module code?

Re: [Puppet Users] install windows package

[Jim Ficarra]

If you mean installing a windows package (such as an MSI or EXE) – you should 
review the package resource type documentation

https://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/latest/reference/resources_package_windows.html

https://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/type.html#package

This works really well out of the box if your installer displays information in 
Control Panel/Installed Programs.  If your installer doesn’t, you should look 
at using Rob Reynold’s Chocolatey packaging tool in conjunction with Josh 
Cooper’s Chocolatey Provider for the package resource type.

Re: [Puppet Users] Facter path issue

[Jim Richard]

 

Thanks for the quick reply Rob.

I went ahead and spun up a new Server2008R2 virtual machine to test a very 
basic install:

grabbed the iso from 
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=11093
installed Windows as usual, did the Windows update dance reboot, reboot, etc
got the puppet agent from https://downloads.puppetlabs.com/windows/, 
I tried the most recent agent version and even the oldest, 2.7 version, 
both the same
I also tried installing to the Administrator account as well as installing 
to another account

And, I saw the same behavior.

I tried echo %PATH% and then environment.bat and that did give a clue. I 
ran environment.bat multiple times and each time the Path var in the Puppet 
shell grows. I've attached a screen shot so you can see what I mean.

So, it looks like the Puppet shell initialization process executes 
environment.bat twice; that happens for scheduled agent runs as well.

If I just wanted Facter to report back the true system Path, minus all of 
the puppet shell added stuff, what would you suggest. Pull it from the 
registry? Or via a custom fact, take what Facter reports and chop off all 
of the extra Puppet shell applied stuff with a regex?

 Any ideas what might cause this?


 Note the first thing that facter.bat / puppet.bat runs is a call to 
 environment.bat, which ensures that the console has all of the right 
 environment variables set and it updates PATH as well.

 Why it is doubling up is another issue entirely.

 Try this - open a command line and call:
 echo %PATH%
 environment.bat
 echo %PATH%

 Oddly enough, I don't see  C:\Program Files (x86)\Puppet Labs\Puppet\bin 
 in your original path as I might expect to see.

 How did you install facter on your Windows system?

Yep, a custom fact. In case someone else happens upon this looking for a

fact:

Facter.add('path') do
  confine :kernel = 'windows'
  setcode do
   my_fact = Facter::Util::Resolution.exec('C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /C

[Puppet Users] Facter path issue

[Jim Richard]

Facter on a Windows 2008R2 server is doing something weird. Version of 
facter is 2.0.2.

If I, from the Puppet command prompt, do a echo %Path%, I see exactly 
what I expect. But if I say facter Path, it shows me all of the Puppet 
added path stuff twice, ie. the output is almost twice as much text.

Oddly, the original pre: puppet agent install path data is still reported 
by facter, correctly, not doubled up, but all of the path items added by 
the puppet agent install process show up twice when I issue a facter 
Path. 

My real path:

E:\oracle\product\11.2.0\db_1\bin;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Unix;E:\oracle\product\11.2.0\db_1\OPatch;C:\jdk_release\bin;F:\RATEWARE

What facter thinks is my Path:

Re: [Puppet Users] installation of package to a different folder

[Jim Ficarra]

Try the install_options attribute of the package type.  You need to know what 
the install option is for the JDK itself to go to another folder, then use the 
install_options attribute in puppet.

Re: [Puppet Users] installation of package to a different folder

[Jim Ficarra]

You won’t find how to install the JDK on the puppet page describing the package 
resource.  You need to first find out how you would install the JDK to an 
alternate path – that will be in the JDK documentation and not Puppet.  Once 
you figure it out with the JDK you then specify the parameter in the puppet 
resource.

I did a quick look but can’t find it on the linux platform (I’m primarily a 
Windows guy - maybe someone can chime in), but I believe you need to create a 
properties file with the options you want to set during installation, and I 
believe it’s the USER_INSTALL_DIR property you’ll want to set.

So, find out how to do this silently first w/out puppet, and that will tell you 
what you need to tell puppet to install it where you want.

Sorry I couldn’t be more help on finding the specific parameters on the linux 
platform – the ones for Windows seem easier to find.

Hi Jim, 

Thank you for your reply.
i couldnt find anything related to JDK installation option in that page but I 
was thinking to do it this way ...

class java_rpm::install { 
$version = 'jdk-7u25-linux-x64.rpm' 
package { $version: provider = rpm, 
exec {$version: install_options = 
['-vh','--prefix=/operation/tools/jdk-1.7'], 
owner = operation,
group = admin,
mode = 0755, 
command = rpm -ivh --prefix=/operation/tools/jdk-1.7 jdk-7u25-linux-x64. rpm 
}
source = 
/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/environments/development/modules/java_rpm/files/jdk-7u25-linux-x64
 
}

Thanks,

Re: [Puppet Users] Chocolatey pre-fetch fails with Puppet - Could not prefetch package provider 'chocolatey': undefined method `each' for nil:NilClass

[Jim Ficarra]

It was installed on our puppet master which I don't control, so I'm not
100% sure - however this issue has been identified and fixed.  The issue
boiled down to the PSModulePath system environment variable.  It was
missing a semicolon between the stock path
(%SystemRoot%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\) and a new path I
had put in earlier to point to a set of powershell modules.

This got messed up in my ChocolateyUninstall.ps1 and instead of removing
the ';c:\path\to\modules' I had added,the uninstall messed it up and just
removed the semicolon.

The puppet master admins ended up putting in some debug code in the
chocolatey provider ruby code (execpipe where it fetches the list of
installed chocolatey packages via the provider pre-fetch) and it dumped out
a powershell error that it couldn't find split-path. The odd thing was
that I could use split-path when opening up a powershell prompt while the
PSModulePath was messed up.

This was a bit of a tough one to crack as the underlying powershell errors
were masked behind the ruby.

 Hey Rob,

 Thanks for the response!

 Yes – chocolatey version 0.9.8.23 is installed on both servers (found via
 choco version).  They both respond to choco /?.  This is a customized
 version that has had the install path modified and the default repository
 restricted to an internal Nuget repository.

 I can also install chocolatey packages manually on both servers –
 specifically this package that is failing by typing “cinst carbon”.


 Are you using the puppet-chocolatey module from the forge or from github?



 I am running puppet as a windows service and ran the service with
 debug/trace (sc start puppet –debug –trace) to pull the previous errors
 from the event log, though they were a bit segregated across event entries.

 It's also worth noting that there are 4 resource types ahead of the one
 that's failing.  The 4 resourcs types (two files and two execs) are applied
 successfully.  I ran the puppet agent –td –verbose –trace and received a
 lot of output, but essentially the same errors that don't appear to have
 any new information.   The successful output shows that the 4 previous
 resource types ran.

 Included below is the start of when it begins to apply the package with
 the chocolatey provider:

[Puppet Users] Chocolatey pre-fetch fails with Puppet - Could not prefetch package provider 'chocolatey': undefined method `each' for nil:NilClass

[Jim Ficarra]

Chocolatey is installed as a shared module on the puppet master. Below is 
the specific part of the puppet code that uses the chocolatey provider to 
install a custom package.  


class install_carbon {
 package {'carbon':
 ensure = '1.7',
 provider = 'chocolatey',
 }
}


This class is part of a larger set of modules and classes that work 
together and execute completely and successfully on another host but fails 
on a second host with the error below.  Same puppet client version (3.4.2 
installed from an internal NuGet repo).  Chocolatey is also customized to 
point to an internal repo.

Any help/thoughts/insight would be appreciated.

Thanks!

 Moving up the chain to the provider, let's execute puppet agent -td

 This should really get us to what might be causing the error.

Hey Rob,

Thanks for the response!

Yes – chocolatey version 0.9.8.23 is installed on both servers (found via choco 
version).  They both respond to choco /?.  This is a customized version that 
has had the install path modified and the default repository restricted to an 
internal Nuget repository.

I can also install chocolatey packages manually on both servers – specifically 
this package that is failing by typing “cinst carbon”.

I am running puppet as a windows service and ran the service with debug/trace 
(sc start puppet –debug –trace) to pull the previous errors from the event log, 
though they were a bit segregated across event entries.

It's also worth noting that there are 4 resource types ahead of the one that's 
failing.  The 4 resourcs types (two files and two execs) are applied 
successfully.  I ran the puppet agent –td –verbose –trace and received a lot of 
output, but essentially the same errors that don't appear to have any new 
information.   The successful output shows that the 4 previous resource types 
ran.  

Included below is the start of when it begins to apply the package with the 
chocolatey provider:

Re: [Puppet Users] Ability to wait for dotnet to complete installation

[Jim Ficarra]

Did you try using the package resource over the exec resource?  I install .NET 
4.0 using the package resource and it works just fine on Windows 2008 R2 
Enterprise  Standard, though I haven’t tried on Data Center but I’m not sure 
how different it would be.  I’ve done something similar with .net 4.5.   The 
package resource allows the installation of .NET to be idempotent as it is 
aware of packages installed/registered in Control Panel.


Here is one I use for .NET 4.5.1, but it’s the same pattern for 4.0 (I can’t 
find the one I had for 4.0, but it was similar).  Update the package name to 
match the description as it appears in Control Panel as well as the version.  
In my case I have a previous resource that I require that downloads the .exe to 
a temp folder for local execution(Download_file).  I also ensure that IIS is 
installed (Windowsfeature)

package { 'Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1': 
  
ensure = '4.5.50938',

source = 
'D:\temp\NDP451-KB2858728-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU.exe', 

install_options = ['/q','/norestart'],

require = 
[Download_file['NDP451-KB2858728-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU.exe_download'],Windowsfeature['IIS']],
 

}





As I said I can’t find the 4.0 package def I had, but let here’s a crack at 
what I remember.You’ll need to ensure that the source is updated to where 
you have it.  The source attribute works for local and UNC resources, but not 
http urls.  We use the download_file puppet resource type (from puppet forge) 
to download files from an HTTP url.



package { 'Microsoft .NET Framework Extended':  
 

ensure = '4.0.30319',

source = 
'D:\temp\dotNetFx40_full_x86_x64.exe', 

install_options = ['/q','/norestart'], 
  

}



.NET 4.0 installs both extended and client profile.  You *could* chain these 
together, but I haven’t tried.  Puppet will check that these are installed and 
if they are, will not install them again.  The first one would kick off and 
install both, then when the Client Profile was checked it would see it was 
installed.  You could use this to ensure that both were installed – if someone 
uninstalled the client profile but not extended, it would kick off the 
installer again, but I’ve not tried a repair option.  Perhaps .net would do a 
full refresh, but I don’t know for sure.





package { 'Microsoft .NET Framework Extended':  
 

ensure = '4.0.30319',

source = 
'D:\temp\dotNetFx40_full_x86_x64.exe', 

install_options = ['/q','/norestart'], 
  

} -



package { 'Microsoft .NET Framework Client Profile':
   

ensure = '4.0.30319',

source = 
'D:\temp\dotNetFx40_full_x86_x64.exe', 

install_options = ['/q','/norestart'], 
  

}


Hope this helps.

Subject: [Puppet Users] Ability to wait for dotnet to complete installation

Hi all,
Interesting timing challenge around installing dotnet on Windows 2008 R2 Data 
Cente. 

In essence, when we run the following command, it appears to complete in a few 
seconds. The reality is that it spawns multiple new msiexecs to install and 
configure itself over the next 5 mins or so.

dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe /q /norestart

This causes an obvious issue if we need to install a bit of software with 
dotnet as a dependancy, unless, we can wait until dotnet has finished it's 5 
min dance.

From command line, this issue is resolved by adding a start /wait to the 
above command. The next challenge is how to get the correct syntax for my exec 
statement;

command   = start /wait 
${dotnet::params::deployment_root}\\dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe /q /norestart,


Without the start /wait, the above command works. 

With the start /wait, it complains as follows...

/Stage[main]//Dotnet[dotnet45]/Exec[install-dotnet-45]/returns:


Error: start /wait  
C:\ProgramData\PuppetLabs\puppet\etc\modules\dotnet\files\dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe
 /q /norestart returned 1 instead of one of [0]


Short of writing a new function called go for a cup of tea feeding it the 
required number of sleep seconds(!), does anybody have any experiences or ideas 
around this one??

Re: [Puppet Users] Windows exe fork

[Jim Ficarra]

I’m not familiar with how the Reimann monitoring client runs – but if you run 
it at the command line and it runs within the shell and requires the command 
shell to run perpetually, you could try “start.exe reimannclient.exe” or 
whatever the name of the exe is.  There are a # of command line switches that 
you can look at in the help by typing start /? at the command line.  This would 
be a kludgey way to do it though to be honest.  You won’t have a very good way 
to control it.

Alternatively, it’s usually better to run these types of things within the 
service control manager as a service if they are supported which will give you 
more control over starting, stopping, and ensuring it starts up when the 
servers reboot, etc.  Hopefully your tool is able to run natively as a service. 
 if not, you can try to set up a service wrapper to run it as a service 
(Unfortunately you can’t just convert any exe natively into a Windows service). 
 SrvAny (the wrapper) and InstSrv (sets up the SrvAny wrapper in the 
registry/service control manager) were tools available in the Windows 2003 
Server Resource Kit.  I’ve recently read that those 2003 tools still work in 
2008, but keep in mind that they are not supported and your mileage may vary.

If your client is available as something that can run as a service that would 
be much better. 

You could use puppet to ensure the components are installed properly and that 
the service is set to run all the time.

Subject: [Puppet Users] Windows exe fork

Hi,

Just wrote my first puppet module for Windows  provisioning. All is working 
well except I am having a problem running a windows exe file in that Puppet 
appears to wait for the exe to complete. At least this is the case when I run 
Puppet agent --test from the Windows Server command line. 

What I want to do here is install a set of files for a Riemann monitoring 
client on several Windows Server 2008 R1 VMs. These files include an exe, which 
I want to start and run in perpetuity. I don't want Puppet to wait for this 
process to complete. It appears I could run the exe in a separate shell using 
cmd.exe, but when I try that on the command line I do not see the named process 
running in the Resource Monitor. I only see cmd.exe running. This is not very 
informative.

My question is, what is the best way to run this executable via Puppet? Should 
I convert the exe to a Windows service, install that and run it as a service? 
Should I use shell cmd and live with the unhelpful Resource Monitor listing? Or 
should I use Power Shell to fork the process like I would in linux?

Any help would be most appreciated.

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet for Windows - Problems with Oracle 11g client install

[Jim Ficarra]

Sorry for not responding in a while – I moved on to automating other parts and 
now I’m back to this one.

It happens if I run puppet apply or puppet agent – either way it’s running as a 
domain service account.

I can run the installer perfectly fine outside of puppet with no user 
interaction whatsoever.  I have the appropriate command line options and the 
response file simply provides the settings that would’ve been requested through 
the UI – but as I said, I have it working w/out a lick of interaction required. 
 It’s just when I hit it in puppet this occurs.

Puppet is running as a domain service account.  Not sure what you mean by 
having an issue with the D: drive.  D: is a local drive, not a mapped drive, so 
we’re not trying to use localsystem across to a network/mapped drive.  Puppet 
has no issues install everything else from the same d:\build source – for 
example I’ve used it to install the MSDeploy MSI and a custom MSI to install 
some http modules in IIS.  These installers reside in D:\Build as well.  Also, 
the fact that it’s able to access the installer and unzip the files in the temp 
install directory is telling me that it has no issues accessing the files on D:.

That said, I just tried to execute it as the puppet service account 
interactively – I see an issue (maybe THE issue) - the installer throws a 
java.lang.NullPointerException.  I don’t get this when I run it as myself, so 
at least another lead with the specific user it’s executing under.  I’ll update 
this thread when I find out more but if you have any other diagnostic tips let 
me know.

Thanks!

  I just tried your suggestion but the same thing happens.  

  install_options = ['-silent', '-waitforcompletion', '-noconsole'.

  It spawns several processes (javaw, oui, etc) and then it unzips the files (I 
see unzip.exe execute in task mgr, and I see the files expanded in the puppet 
users appdata/local/temp folder) then it hangs with the following processes 
hung (in the security context of the service account under which the puppet 
service is running) – 0% CPU utilization on these processes.

  conhost.exe (two of them), ruby.exe*32 (two of them), setup.exe*32, 
oui.exe*32, javaw.exe*32, cmd.exe*32 (two of them) hanging with 0 CPU 
utilization.

  I have turned on debugging and I get the following in the event log shortly 
before it hangs.
  Executing 'cmd.exe /c start puppet-install /w 
D:\Build\Oracle11gclient\setup.exe -silent -noconsole -waitforcompletion 
-responseFile D:\Build\Ora11gclient.rsp'

  It eventually times out.

  Any other thoughts?  The odd thing is that I can install this from the 
command line with the same options, so I know I have the options correct.  Are 
these processes getting orphaned? I’m guessing based on the behavior, but it 
looks like the install kicks off several processes, and after the unzip the 
other processes seem to be waiting for some signal that never happens.  

  Any additional thoughts?

Are you running `puppet apply` or `puppet agent` when the hang happens? In 
either case, I'd recommending using process explorer to find the child process 
that all of those are waiting on. As a first approximation, you can usually use 
procexp to see if one of the threads is calling MessageBoxA, e.g. a service 
that tries to display a message dialog on the service window station.

Second, is D: a mapped drive? If so, then puppet running as LocalSystem won't 
be able to access it (as specified).

Also, it would help if you could provide your response file with redacted 
passwords, etc.


  Thanks.

I can run this at the command line and install Oracle 11g client 
silently.Once I put it in a package or try to exec it, I get as far as the 
installer auto-unzipping the files needed for the install but then it just 
hangs and after 5 mins, puppet times out.  The processes are just hung.

I've tried the following two ways  (I have a custom fact that determines if 
oracle is installed which works correctly - if I install oracle outside of

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet for Windows - Problems with Oracle 11g client install

[Jim Ficarra]

So I think I found the issue.  Others are having the same issue – the service 
account used to execute puppet is prefaced with an exclamation mark: ‘!’

Seems that others are having similar issues with accounts that have ! in them.

http://rprabu1984.wordpress.com/2014/02/03/java-lang-nullpointerexception-while-trying-to-install-oracle-software/



https://community.oracle.com/thread/1067522



Folks are indicating it’s a bug, but I haven’t found an official statement for 
Oracle indicating so – still this is pretty plausible given that others are 
having the same issue with accounts prefaced with ! and that in my case puppet 
has no issues installing other installers from the same location.  Either way, 
I have what I think is the root cause and a direction to address it.



Thanks for hanging through with this, Josh – much appreciated.  Also, great 
work on the powershell provider – that has saved me more than you can imagine!



If you have any additional thoughts, please feel free.

Are you running `puppet apply` or `puppet agent` when the hang happens? In 
either case, I'd recommending using process explorer to find the child process 
that all of those are waiting on. As a first approximation, you can usually use 
procexp to see if one of the threads is calling MessageBoxA, e.g. a service 
that tries to display a message dialog on the service window station.

Second, is D: a mapped drive? If so, then puppet running as LocalSystem won't 
be able to access

[Puppet Users] Puppet for Windows - Problems with Oracle 11g client install

Re: [Puppet Users] Setting validproperties fields in provider modules

[Jim Perry]

Thanks. I am still learning Ruby so I will look into accessors in more
detail.

What I am trying to do is call the HPUX provider and use it to set the min
and max age that gets passed back to the parent. Then I also need to be
able to verify the right commands are used to reset the expiration when the
user password is updated if it is a trusted setup.

 Hmm, I still don't really see what you are intent on doing specifically,
 to be honest.

 Looking at

https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/master/lib/puppet/provider/user/useradd.rb#L195
 does this problem not boil down to overriding the passcmd method and
 adding some kind of case statements to handle your different environments?

 You mentioned at the beginning of the thread that you're facing issues
 accessing the resource property values. These *should* work:

 min_age = resource.should(:password_min_age)
 max_age = resource.should(:password_max_age)

 If I'm not mistaken, this should be synonymous with e.g.
 resource[:password_min_age]. `resource` is the attr_accessor for
 `@resource`. I'm not sure why so much provider code ignores the accessors.

  Unfortunately I am unable to seem to get it to work and thus I am at a
  loss. I really need to be able to ensure that the proper expiry setups
  are in place for HPUX because while I managed to get the password
  functionality into the main stream code base, it is not likewise
  resetting the password expiration for another 90 days and thus the
  account gets locked out.

[Puppet Users] Referencing a value from one level to another.

[Jim Donnellan]

Puppeteers,

I'm trying to get something done in puppet/hiera, and I'm curious if it's 
possible. A bit of background:

We're using puppet and hiera to build out and maintain Apache Solr, and 
we're using Solr in a cloud structure. What this ends up meaning 
configuration-wise is that we have our data broken off into shards, and 
servers that are hosting different replicas of the shards for redundancy. 
For a simplified sense, say it looks like this...

Server1 hosts:
  shard1, replica 1
  shard2, replica 1

Server2 hosts:
  shard1, replica 2
  shard2, replica 2

Server3 hosts:
  shard3, replica 1
  shard4, replica 1

...and so on. So each shard exists on multiple hosts, each host has 
multiple shards, but not every shard is on every host. 

We were able to handle this just fine by using a hiera array to list the 
shards at the _host_.yaml level. No big deal. Done and done, works great in 
production.


The issue that has come up is that some of the shards (which are JVMs) have 
grown a bit and require a heap size greater than the default. Obviously 
this would be something we'd want to wrangle with puppet and hiera. We've 
come up with some initial attempts that seem to work, which involve just 
enhancing the hiera data when we declare the shards at a host level. So 
instead of:

Server1.yaml::
shards:
- shard1
- shard2

We have something like this:

Server1.yaml::
shards:
- shard1: 5G
- shard2: 7G

...which is workable. The thing I don't like about it is that I'm defining 
the heap size at the host level, even though they should be consistent for 
any given shard across servers. This is redundant at best, and leaves 
things open for inconsistency across servers at worst. I kind of want to 
raise the heap size declarations up above the host level, up to the 
application or environment level I guess. But I would still need to declare 
which shards are where at the host level. In short, I guess I need the 
deployment to look for what shards should be on a host at the host level, 
and then look up the chain a bit to see what heap size that shard should 
have. 

Does this sound doable?

Thanks in advance, 
Jim

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppetlabs-firewall and Logging

[Jim Miller]

These rules are being applied in the pre.pp so they run first.  Since we're 
just testing this out the only rules we have are in pre.pp and post.pp.  In 
pre.pp the rules are SSH and DNS, and post.pp drop everything else.  

I'm wondering how much traction this module has since it seems log and drop 
is not supported.  Again, I ask if anyone can generically share some 
working rules for tcp/udp.  Or if this isn't the module to use which one is?


Thanks all,

 enforce ordering, like

 None of the above rules generates any errors. 
 My understanding of reading the doc is the default policy is 'accept' when 
 not specified (not sure about custom chains).  When I try to connect to the 
 server, I don't see logs being generated.

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppetlabs-firewall and Logging

[Jim Miller]

I forgot to add, yes the rules are being generated and outbound DNS logs 
are being generated.. AND I FOUND THE ISSUE.  You have to specify a 
protocol in ALL chains.  Or in the case where you specified it earlier (for 
LOG and custom chains 'proto = 'any').

with no protocol specified rules default to tcp

-A dns_out -p tcp -m comment --comment 024 dns_out -j LOG --log-prefix 
dns_out
-A dns_out -p tcp -m comment --comment 025 dns_out -j ACCEPT
---

with proto = 'any' 
--
-A dns_out -m comment --comment 024 dns_out -j LOG --log-prefix dns_out
-A dns_out -m comment --comment 025 dns_out -j ACCEPT
-
I get the desired results.

 I'm wondering how much traction this module has since it seems log and

 Also, it's been a while since I dug into the ruby that generates the

 enforce ordering, like

[Puppet Users] Puppetlabs-firewall LOG and Drop

[Jim Miller]

Hello all,

We are beginning to implement the Puppetlabs-firewall module and have not 
been able to implement a final LOG, DROP rule (our standard policy is LOG 
and DROP everything which isn't explicitly allowed IN or OUT) in post.pp.  
Has anyone been able to implement a post.pp which does a LOG and DROP?  



We do something similar to this:
# Chain:
:droplog - [0:0]

 # Last INPUT rule
 -A INPUT -i eth0 -j droplog
 # Last OUTPUT rule
 -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -j droplog

 # LOG packets, then DROP.
 -A droplog -m limit --limit 10/min -j LOG --log-prefix dropped 
 -A droplog -j DROP

From what I've read, and tried, it does not seem possible since you can not 
combine an 'action' and a 'jump'.  And you only redefine the policy for 
built-in chains (INBOUND, FORWARD, OUTBOUND, ) So I can't write a 
custom firewallchain which has a default policy of drop.

To me this should work but it doesn't because the default action is 
'accept' .. it never hits 999
class firewall::post {
firewallchain {'droplog:filter:IPv4': ensure = 'present', }

firewall { '997 fwd to droplog': proto = 'all', jump = 'droplog', 
before = undef, }~
firewall { '998 droplog': chain = 'droplog', jump = 'LOG', log_prefix 
= 'dropped ', before = undef, }~
firewall { '999 Default Drop': chain = 'droplog', action = 'drop', 
before = undef,  }
}



Thanks,
Jim

Hmm...you might need to add git remote update in there.  git pull does

[Puppet Users] Re: Passenger with Puppet 3.0, problems running under

[Jim Toth]

As I recall, if the config.ru itself isn't owned by the puppet user, we'll 
get similar errors from Passenger (spewing out an HTML error page, which 
the agents then unhelpfully log).

It might be something else -- given that it's HTML, you might want to just 
go to https://your puppet server:8140 in a browser and see what it's 
saying -- if all's well, then puppet will just say something like

The environment must be purely alphanumeric, not ''


And if that doesn't fix it, you could try uncommenting the debugging lines 
you quoted from puppet/util.rb.


I just took my own advice -- we're in the process of rebuilding a test 
puppet master, and in the process of writing this post I noticed that it 
was spewing HTML, and fairly clearly told me that I needed to do a bundle 
install since its Gemfile had changed (and the Gemfile.lock, which it was 
complaining about, is not owned by the puppet user by design).

 Since upgrading to 3.x I've had some problems running Puppet under

 The first symptoms included a new agent could not get a CA cert from the

 When I run puppet master in stand-alone mode, it works fine.  

 I wrote to the Phusion Passenger folks, but they are not familiar with 
 Puppet and so I'm still trying to figure out what is wrong. 

 We don't have selinux enabled.  sestatus confirms this.

 SELinux status: disabled


 Of the errors I see in the puppet logs relevant to this:

 I tried setting the ownership of the files in that directory to the same

 problem.

 This is all I have in my config.ru:

 It spits out a lot of HTML, CSS... and things I don't think should ever 
 happen, on the client side.


 Looks like it it exiting, mentioning line 518 of 
 /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/puppet-3.2.3/lib/puppet/util.rb, the code 
 of which 

 is:


   # Now we need to catch **any** other kind of exception, because we may 
 be calling third-party
   #  code (e.g. webrick), and we have no idea what they might throw.
   rescue Exception = err
 ## NOTE: when debugging spec failures, these two lines can be very 
 useful
 #puts err.inspect
 #puts Puppet::Util.pretty_backtrace(err.backtrace)
 Puppet.log_exception(err, Could not #{message}: #{err})
 Puppet::Util::Log.force_flushqueue()
 exit(code)
   end


 Anyway, I'm pretty stumped.   I am running Puppet 3.x on its own now.  We 
 only have 40 nodes, so it works.   But I'd like to figure out what the heck 
 

[Puppet Users] example42 puppet-squid

[Jim Miller]

I am using example42s squid module 
https://github.com/example42/puppet-modules/tree/master/squid, and trying 
to define certain user variable at the puppet/manifest/nodes.pp level   
This is the first module of their's I've tried,  I've read over their 
documentation and FAQ and for the life of me I can not figure this out.  To 
me their examples are VERY HIGH level and I'm _really_ new to puppet.  I'm 
sure I'm missing something fundamental but I'm just not seeing it.  I've 
also installed example42s 'common' module which is needed to make the type 
of changes I'm talking about.

The following works fine:
node 'xio99cdetest1.mygroup.com' {
 include squid
}

AND

 class { 'squid':
   squid_port = '3030',
  }
}

[Puppet Users] Encrypt Passwords in Manifests

Hello all

I mainly use Puppet for managing windows hosts, and what to know they best 
way to either encrypt passwords in manifests or where to store them so they

sense)

e.g.

class roles::base::users {
user { 'Administrator':

[Puppet Users] Windows Remote Desktop Services Custom Facts HELP, please

[jim]

Hello all,

I recently posted a question about a Windows Feature Remote Desktop 
Services (formaly known as Terminal Services)

https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!searchin/puppet-users/remote$20desktop/puppet-users/q71sP3TZZXQ/ymuAMqX5OTsJ

the basic problem is

fresh installed version of windows 2008 r2
use puppet to install remote desktop services
requires reboot
when server comes back online, its in protected mode (so no one can install 
applications without issuing the following command change user /install)
puppet agent fails to run 

what I discovered was, once remote desktop services was installed
if you run
change user /install
then run puppet agent it runs fine
then exit out of install mode
change user /execute

everything works how it should.

so i've tried to come up with something, but its not working can anyone 
help or advice

1.) create custom fact, to see if TerminalServer service is running equal 
true


Facter.add(remote_desktop) do
  setcode do

Facter::Util::Resolution.exec('C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe
 
-ExecutionPolicy remotesigned -File 
C:\installs\Scripts\remote_desktop_installed_fact.ps1')
  end
end


1.1) Powershell Script remote_desktop_installed_fact.ps1

Function remote-desktop()
{
$Service=Get-Service TermService -ComputerName localhost
if ($Service.status -eq Running)
{
write-host true
}
else
{
Write-host false
}
}
remote-desktop

Then i thought the following would work but it doesn't, can you please help


if $::remote_desktop == true {
exec  { 'change_user_install':
command   = 'C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c change user /install',
}-

exec { 'remote_desktop_services_install':
command   = 'C:/Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe 
-executionpolicy remotesigned -file 
C:\Installs\Scripts\remote_desktop_services.ps1',
creates   = 
'c:/Installs/Puppet_Confirmation/Remote_Desktop_Services_Installed.txt',
require   = Class [ 'roles::base::dot_net' ],
}-

exec  { 'change_user_execute':
command   = 'C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c change user /execute',
require   = exec['remote_desktop_services_install']
}
}
else {
exec { 'remote_desktop_services_install_1':
command   = 'C:/Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe 
-executionpolicy remotesigned -file 
C:\Installs\Scripts\remote_desktop_services.ps1',
creates   = 
'c:/Installs/Puppet_Confirmation/Remote_Desktop_Services_Installed.txt',
require   = Class [ 'roles::base::dot_net' ],
}
}}



Here is the powershellscript - remote_desktop_services.ps1


$strFileName = c:\ProgramData\PuppetLabs\Puppet 
Enterprise\var\state\puppetlockd

Import-Module Servermanager
Add-WindowsFeature -Name RDS-RD-Server -IncludeAllSubFeature
Add-Content 
c:\Installs\Puppet_Confirmation\Remote_Desktop_Services_Installed.txt 
Windows has finished installing Remote Desktop Services
start-sleep -s 60
IF (Test-Path $strFileName){
Remove-Item $strFileName }

shutdown /r /t 60

Could it be becuase i've used
creates   = 
'c:/Installs/Puppet_Confirmation/Remote_Desktop_Services_Installed.txt',

on both scripts and one blocks out the other from running

hope this make sense

regards


James

Re: [Puppet Users] Windows Reboot

[jim]

Hi Guys

The way I get around it now, is by using a powershell script that creates a 
text file and delete puppetlockd if exists and then reboots, and then 
puppet checks if  text file exists upon next run and ignores

e.g. Powershell

Add-Content c:\Installs\Puppet_Confirmation\Joined_AD_domain.txt Windows 
has joined $domain
$strFileName = c:\ProgramData\PuppetLabs\Puppet 
Enterprise\var\state\puppetlockd
IF (Test-Path $strFileName){
Remove-Item $strFileName }
shutdown /r /t 60


e.g. Puppet manifest

exec { 'domain_join':
command   = 'C:/Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe 
-executionpolicy remotesigned -file C:\Installs\Scripts\domain_join.ps1',
creates   = 'C:\Installs\Puppet_Confirmation\Joined_AD_domain.txt',


This approach seems to work ok for me, as I can then control, how puppet 
works by using another script to delete the text file, I so it will re-run 
if required

(if that make sense)

regards

James

 Hi Josh,

 As you may recall, I'm the odd kid on the block using Puppet to manage 
 many many embedded Windows 7 and XP devices, so my needs are probably not 
 very representative of the Puppet community. I have no need for a reboot 
 message/code. Most our devices already have a nightly scheduled reboot. I 
 use run stages and a delayed shutdown to, for all practical purposes, 
 ensure a resource that requires a reboot runs last and give the agent 
 enough time to cleanly finish the run and send reports back. I also use a 
 schedule resource to control when devices are allowed to apply a resource 
 that requires a reboot.

 I'll check out your reboot provider, thanks. I just use an exec currently.

 Adam

 James,

 Not yet, see http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/19162.

 My (ugly) approach for this now is a refreshonly exec with a delayed 
 shutdown. I'd like to see a reboot = true or such for all resources that 
 tell the agent to reboot after a run is complete when that resource is 
 applied.


 I did something similar, reboot resource type that is only triggered via 
 notify/subscribe relationship from another resource. See 
 https://github.com/joshcooper/puppetlabs-reboot

 Adam, I'm curious about the approach you're talking about also. If reboot 
 was a metaparameter, I don't think it would be possible to specify 
 the reboot message or reason code (for different resources) But perhaps 
 that's not really important?

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: Windows Remote Desktop Services (Could not find a suitable provider for dism)

[jim]

Good Morning Vladimir

I think discovered what the problem is but not an experienced coder to be 
able to change the code to reflect my discovery.

Now the issue only happens when installing Remote Desktop Services, either 
by DISM or powershell, I finally worked ou,t that when the host reboots, it 
boots into a Terminal Server mode and doesn't allow user e.g. puppet 
agent to install anything via dism!

because the host is in terminal server mode, you need to run the following 
commands before and after dism for it to work.

change user /install
run puppet (works fine no error)

i've run puppet multiple times and no error, no trying to reinstall Remote 
Desktop Services - works fine

as soon as you run this command to close install mode

change user /execute

we start getting the error again

*Could not find a suitable provider for dism*

so Vladimir, what I think need to happen within the dism code 

when running dism, if feature equals AppServer run this command before 
change user /install
run dism part
then change mode back to execute
change user /execute
complete successful

Hope this make sense, and is possible

Kind Regards

Jim

 Looks like you don't have RDS-RD-Server feature in your system (I don't 
 have this feature in Windows 7 too).
 Puppet dism modules wraps 

   c:\windows\sysnative\dism.exe /online 
 /enable-feature/featurename:RDS-RD-Server

 command. Are you sure this works in administrative cmd.exe?

   c:\windows\sysnative\dism.exe /online

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: Windows Remote Desktop Services (Could not find a suitable provider for dism)

[jim]

Hiya Vladimir

I think the issue is, if we remove Puppet and DISM and go back to Windows 
Remote Desktop Services, also known as Terminal Server.

When you install this feature, it requires a reboot for this feature to 
take effect

when the host comes back online, its a fully functioning RDS / Terminal 
Server

If you want to install software, you have to run this command first

change user /install
Then install software
revert back
change user /execute

Now add puppet / DISM module onto this, it will look like this

Server running puppet agent
install feature APPServer using DISM module
reboot host
hosts comes back online a functioning RDS / Terminal Server
try to run puppet agent again
Problem 
Due to RDS / Terminal Server still running in execute mode
Puppet Run will fail.

(this is an assumption, RDS / Terminal Server running in execute mode when 
applying ruby syntax for environment variables e..g 
commands :dism = #{Dir::WINDOWS}\\sysnative\\Dism.exe
will default to %userprofile% path thus *C:\Users\Administrator*
\WINDOWS\sysnative\Dism.exe

Now if the DISM module, could do the following, it would work for RDS / 
Terminal Server:

Server running puppet agent
install feature APPServer using DISM module
reboot host
hosts comes back online a functioning RDS / Terminal Server
run puppet agent again, if feature equals RDS / Terminal Server
execute change user / install mode
run dism module
execute change user /execute mode
Puppet Run will run successfully


hope this make sense

regards

Jim

 I recommend you to get version from there:

 It looks like its picking up the %userprofile% and appending to the

Hi Vladimir

Sorry

If you use powershell and import servermanager the feature is called 
RDS-Server, if you use DISM its called APPServer

 Looks like you don't have RDS-RD-Server feature in your system (I don't 
 have this feature in Windows 7 too).
 Puppet dism modules wraps 

   c:\windows\sysnative\dism.exe /online 
 /enable-feature/featurename:RDS-RD-Server

 command. Are you sure this works in administrative cmd.exe?

   c:\windows\sysnative\dism.exe /online 
 /enable-feature/featurename:RDS-RD-Server /NoRestart

Hi Vladimir


This error:

Puppet::Type::Dism::ProviderDism: file 
C:\Users\Administrator\WINDOWS\sysnative\Dism.exe does not exist

Just thought 

this part of the error

C:\Users\Administrator

It looks like its picking up the %userprofile% and appending to the 
environment part in dism module


USERPROFILE=C:\Users\Administrator

  if Puppet.features.microsoft_windows?
if ENV.has_key?('ProgramFiles(x86)')
  commands :dism = #{Dir::WINDOWS}\\sysnative\\Dism.exe
else
  commands :dism = #{Dir::WINDOWS}\\system32\\Dism.exe
end
  end

if that make sense

 Hi Vladimir

 Sorry

 If you use powershell and import servermanager the feature is called 
 RDS-Server, if you use DISM its called APPServer

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: Windows Remote Desktop Services (Could not find a suitable provider for dism)

[jim]

Hello all

I think this is an actual bug with either puppet or puppet dism and not 
sure how to resolve this

I've installed the puppet dism module and written my manifest

class remote_desktop_services {
dism { 'AppServer':
ensure = present,
}
dism { 'AppServer-UI':
ensure = present,
}
dism { 'Printing-XPSServices-Features':
ensure = present,
}
}

upon reboot, when I re-run the puppet agent I keep getting the following 
error:

err: Could not find a suitable provider for dism

and keep getting this error until I remove the manifest then the puppet 
agent runs successfully again.

Then thought it could be the module not aware of Remote Desktop Services as 
a provider.

So thought i'll write a powershell script and get puppet to exec it, here 
is my script (its a bit dirty)


$strFileName = c:\ProgramData\PuppetLabs\Puppet 
Enterprise\var\state\puppetlockd

Import-Module Servermanager 
Add-WindowsFeature -Name RDS-RD-Server -IncludeAllSubFeature
Add-Content 
c:\Installs\Puppet_Confirmation\Remote_Desktop_Services_Installed.txt 
Windows has finished installing Remote Desktop Services
start-sleep -s 60
IF (Test-Path $strFileName){
Remove-Item $strFileName }
 
shutdown /r /t 60

After the reboot, I get the same error as above,

err: Could not find a suitable provider for dism

Was wondering if this is an error or not, but unable to install Remote 
Desktop Services using Puppet Enterprise / Puppet module DISM

Can you please help

Regards

Jim

 Hmm. Do you have pluginsync set to true in puppet.conf? It's possible 
 that the provider in the dism module is not being distributed from the 
 master to the agent. Here's a doc on the subject if you need it.

 Once i've rebooted the host, and rerun the puppet agent I get the

 So I thought it could be the dism module doesn't support Remote Desktop

 then tried the Powershell Module

 which installs fine and reboots the host etc, but upon running the agent 
 again, I get the same error as above:

[Puppet Users] Puppet Manage Cisco ASA

[jim]

Hello all,

Does anyone currently manage Cisco ASA's  out there via Puppet, if so how ?

Due to the size of our network it would be great if Puppet could manage 
Object-groups and ACL's etc to try and standardize across our ASA hosts.

e.g.

On one ASA an Object-group would be called

monitoring_server

on another ASA

mon_srv

another ASA

monsrv

It makes understanding the rules alot harder, when there is no uniform 
object-groups, this is manly to due different network engineers over the 
years and out network evolving

[Puppet Users] defining hosts regex

[jim]

Hi Guys

all of our windows hosts, has the following naming convention:

3 characters for the product - Letter for location - class of service (3 
characters) - node number (2 digits)
e.g

pos-a-www-02
or
ocs-b-sql-01

therefore my regex would look something like

/^pos-(a|b)-www-\d\d$/
or
/^ocs-(a|b)-sql-\d\d$/

how do I make these regex case insensitive 

as or hosts can be named

pos-a-www-02
or
POS-A-WWW-02

[Puppet Users] Variables within manifests questions

[jim]

Hello all again

just another quick question, 

we have some machines in different colo's on different subnets, 

colo a - 1.1.1.0/24
colo b - 2.2.2.0/24

If for example I was using a module from puppet forge for IIS, could I use 
variables within my manifest syntax to reference different colo's for 
example

if $network_local_area_connection = 1.1.1.0
add colo_a

elseif $network_local_area_connection = 2.2.2.0
add colo_b 


iis_site {'mysite.co.uk':
ensure = present,
bindings   = [ 'http/*:80:www.mysite.co.uk', 
'http/*:80:mysite.co.uk', 
'http/*:80:*colo_?*.mysite.co.uk', 
'http/*:80:*colo_?*.mysite.co.uk' ],
}

Hope this makes sense just unsure how to achieve this ???

Regards

Jim

 Answering my own question, and hopefully jim's as well! 

 I had just had my module open in Geppetto, which yelled at me for having 
 used backslashes in the MSI's package definition.  I switched them to 
 forward slashes to make it happy, and it appears as though jim's code above 
 also uses forward slashes in the source = directive.

 Noticing that was one of my changes on my last check-in, I reversed it, 
 and it worked.  Hope this helps, jim -- not sure if this would constitute a 
 bug, I've been seeing much more encouragement to use forward-slashes all 
 across Windows, some of it in contradiction to the documents.  Working with 
 mcollective-win, almost all paths even on the Windows filesystem are 
 forward slash, so I guess I assumed it would be OK here as well.  It is 
 not.  The package { source = } directive for MSIs *must* use backslashes.

[Puppet Users] Windows Firewall Question

[jim]

Hello all,

I'm currently running 2.7.19 (Puppet Enterprise 2.7.0)

I want to use puppet to add / amend or delete windows firewall rules, is 
there a tidy way of doing this 

exec { Check_MK_Firewall_Rule_create:
command = 'C:\Windows\System32\netsh.exe advfirewall firewall add rule 
name=Check_MK dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=6556',
unless = 'C:\Windows\System32\netsh.exe advfirewall firewall show rule 
name=Check_MK',
}

## If I remove the unless statement, it will keep add the same rule over 
and over again, which will make the firewall rule list un-manageable


exec { Check_MK_Firewall_Rule_enable:
command = 'C:\Windows\System32\netsh.exe advfirewall firewall set rule 
name=Check_MK new enable=Yes',
}

## When I do a puppet run it keeps running this, is there a way to only run 
if disabled ???

Hope this make sense

regards

James

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet Windows Service keeps stopping/starting

[jim]

Hello Josh

Thanks for reply so quickly, here is my manifest, thinking about it, I 
assume it because i'm installing the agent every time, do I need to do 
something like if service doesn't exist install else ignore ?

regards

James

file { 'C:/Installs/check-mk-agent-1.2.1i5.exe':
source   = 'puppet:///modules/base/check-mk-agent-1.2.1i5.exe',

owner= 'SYSTEM',
group= 'Administrators',
} -

exec { 'Check_MK_Agent':
command  = 'C:/Installs/check-mk-agent-1.2.1i5.exe /S',
} ~

service { 'Check_MK_Agent':
ensure   = 'running',
enable   = true,

 From http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/type.html#service, 
 Note that if a service receives an event from another resource, the 
 service will get restarted. 

 Can you post your manifest? Sounds like your service is subscribed to 
 some other resource, perhaps a package whose name doesn't match its 
 name in Add/Remove Programs?

 I'll take puppetlabs-dism as an example, once its installed its located:

 Can this be renamed to something else ? 

 Also if for example, I had a folder tree under modules e.g.

 /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/modules/windows

 Can I move the DISM module folder under my windows folder ?


 This particular module is just a type/provider with no puppet manifest so 
 you can move the lib dir to another module.
  

 then I assume i'd call it by windows::dism?


 No, the resource is still called dism, because it's the name of the type 
 and moving the lib dir won't change this.


 https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-dism/blob/master/lib/puppet/type/dism.rb#L1

  You can write your own custom define resource called windows::dism which 
 wraps the native dism resource. This is typically done if you need 
 environment defaults.

 HTH,

 Nan

[Puppet Users] Puppet Site.pp hierarchy (multi-tenant) question

[jim]

Hello all,

I was wondering if someone could please help or explain the best approach 
to setting up puppet as our first requirement is to support multi-tenant 
within our company  what I mean by this is we have different teams 
supporting different O/S or the same O/S but different configurations,

Team A - Windows O/S Config A
Team B - Linux O/S Config B
Department C - Windows O/S Configs C  D

From what I've been reading there seems multiple ways of doing this, some 
are being phased out, and some are aren't that clear.

The easiest option would be to add different manifests for different groups 
/ teams within site.pp, but if I make changes to the sub-manifests, i'd 
need to touch the site.pp file for changes to kick in, which could also 
effect the other teams / group changes and cause outages ?

Can some please recommend the best approach to multi-tenant or at least 
pass on your experiences ?

Kind Regards

James

  I think I've seen this one before and got curious about it as well. It

  such, I'd be very curious to hear what kind of issues do you think it 
  will help you solve. Now, having 'profiles' as the place to handle 
  inter-module dependencies seems like a pretty good idea. Thanks, Roman. 

 The point was not a 1-1 mapping between nodes and roles (although that 
 was mentioned), the key point I was trying to make is to add layers of 
 classes to provide abstraction between your node definition (whether 
 thats in an ENC or site.pp) and the components that get pulled in. 

 If my post is tl;dr I'll summarise it with; 

 I have two modules called 'roles' and 'profiles', and other modules 
 we'll just refer to as 'component modules' and nodes have role classes 
 applied to them, which include profiles, which include component modules 

 * A role contains business logic 
 * A profile defines the logical software stack that defines what 
 components are needed 
 * The component modules are the building blocks that manage resources 
 (eg: ssh, mysql, apache...) 

 Theres probably a few ways of achieving the same thing - but they key 
 here is abstracting the components from the nodes.

[Puppet Users] Explain Manifests and Modules

[jim]

Hello all,

Can someone please explain why there is a manifests folder 
in /etc/puppetlabs/puppet
e.g. /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/manifests

If there is a manifests folder within each modules folder 
in /etc/puppetlabs/puppet
e.g. /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/modules/ntp/manifests


Is this directory /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/manifests for building out your 
config tree's and calling modules etc.

if so how would you do this ?

regards

James

[Puppet Users] Windows Manifest Newline Syntax and Append to file Questions

[jim]

Hello all,

I'm fairly new to puppet and in the majority a windows shop

I have two questions

1.) As windows syntax is slight different than linux syntax, how do I 
create a new line within a bit of content, e.g. hosts file for windows not 
linux

e.g.

file {'c:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts':
content =
127.0.0.1  puppet.office \n
127.0.0.1   puppet8081.office,
}

As it seems to ignore the \n

2.) also can you append to a file, for example your base machines get the 
standard host file and futher down the tree it goes it might get host 
entries amended to it.

Kind Regards

James
