[Puppet Users] puppet windows base older version 7zip

[Ryan Vande]

During our chocolatey install in our base_windows.pp it installs the latest 
version of 7-zip

I believe it does this VIA the powershell script InstallChocolatey.ps1.erb

" Write-Output "Download 7Zip commandline tool"
  $7zaExe = Join-Path $tempDir '7za.exe'

  Download-File 'https://chocolatey.org/7za.exe' "$7zaExe""

Can I just change this to Download-File 
'https://chocolatey.org/api/v2/package/7zip.install/16.04' "$7zaExe" and it 
will download that specific version?

I guess I can just try this and find out , but if someone knows of a 
different way let me know please

do it do it do it do it!

I put one together for windowsfeature and wanted to submit a PR, but I'm 
unseasoned at rspec and haven't been able to put together a solid block of 
tests.  Any help or resources in that department is more than appreciated.

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet Windows Automation

For instances like this, I've usually smashed everything into a one-liner 
using the powershell provider. So...something along the lines of:

command => " \$thing = ; Write-Host \"Puppet 
${thingamajig} is a $\thing\""

As can be seen above, it can start looking pretty ugly, especially if the 
commands you are executing are a bit longwinded.  You can get a lot more 
power out of writing custom types/providers and it make for a lot cleaner 
looking manifest, but there aren't a lot of publicly available 
windows-specific ones in the wild right now.  I think most people tend to 
steer towards DSC for that and hope for the best.

If you are automating the install of software, you should look at using
either the built-in package resource or one of the Windows package
providers, e.g. Chocolatey[1]. It also has a pre-built, ready to go
internal package server[2] so you can put your packages somewhere in your
network.

Lastly, if you are looking at the Chocolatey route, note that the provider
is almost finished with the install of choco on the machine[3] and using it
as a provider for packages in the same run.[4]

Another great writeup for PowerShell confusion is
http://joshua.poehls.me/2012/powershell-script-module-boilerplate/

The tl;dr of PowerShell scripts is that parser errors (incorrect
PowerShell) will always exit with 0, so test your scripts with PowerShell
and look at the last exit code.

Another is that even setting $ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop' (to catch
non-terminating errors) doesn't appear to catch external command errors
(versus powershell function calls):

[image: Inline image 1]

PowerShell.exe -NoProfile -NonInteractive -NoLogo -ExecutionPolicy Bypass
-Command "$ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop';reg /query bob; Write-Host 'yo'"

[Puppet Users] Puppet Windows Automation

[Fraser Goffin]

Whilst there are definitely some uses cases where executing scripts in either 
Powershell or via an Exec resource is the way to go, in my opinion you should 
really be thinking of using the higher level resource abstractions. That way 
you don't need to deal with the implementation details and you are leveraging 
the true power of a declarative language. Otherwise it's just glorified 
scripting and to some extent you may as well just run Powershell natively. 
Using the RAL, you will also undoubtedly find that it's not too difficult to 
abstract away the OS specifics as well, especially if you plug in Hiera. So go 
on, ... start thinking in terms of resources rather than code, you know you 
want to ;-)

Regards

Fraser.

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet Windows Automation

[Peter Kristolaitis]

PowerShell is largely based on the syntax of the ksh shell, so most 
constructs that work in ksh will work in PS as well.


In this case:

$FOO=(hostname)

That will interpolate anywhere, not just during variable assignment, so 
you can do stuff like:


Some-CmdLet -Host (hostname)

If you're familiar with the use of backticks in bash the mechanism is 
exactly the same, just different syntax.

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet Windows Automation

We solve this issue by doing (kind of ugly) stuff like this in our modules:

unless  =>  'if ( ! ( Get-Service mcollectived ) ) { exit 1 }',

If you don't like that syntax, you may be able to use the $? or 
$LastExitCode variables that get set by PowerShell (I haven't tested 
this, however).  Both of those have non-obvious gotchas.  A good writeup

[Puppet Users] Puppet Windows Automation

[Thomas Bartlett]

Hi Guys,

So I've been working with puppet on windows and I think my approach is all 
wrong. I've been using the puppetlabs/powershell module to run commands, 
however I'm having difficulty with exit codes. Primarily puppet expects 
exit codes to denote success/failure, whereas powershell is returning 
objects (and giving a 0 exit code regardless of result).

I'm automating the install of old bits of software, so getting meaningful 
answers out of the installers is pretty difficult, this means that the 
scripts are a bit ugly and not very idempotent. Typically I have to check a 
log file to find out if the install actually worked.

Are there any examples out there of windows puppet automation that makes 
heavy use of the powershell module?

Cheers,

Tom

For setting up the Web Server itself, you want to look at the
windowsfeature[1] module.

Once you determine the features you want, you can get the specific names by
hopping on a Windows box (2008 and 2012 will have different feature names
for the same things, so keep that in mind) and run Get-WindowsFeature.

Then you can build what you need to set up the Web server. Here's an
example of installing IIS and ASP.NET[2].


Now onto getting ARR installed. You can find redistributables for it at the
bottom of this iis.net page[3]. If you go that route, you just need to
build a package resource to install it.

[Puppet Users] Puppet Windows ARR

[Sergiu Cornea]

Hello guys,

I have been asked to use Puppet in order to set-up Windows ARR, however, I 
have been searching all over Google but unfortunately, I couldn't find 
anything.

Could someone please let me know where I can find more information about 
this as well as creating a Windows Server Cluster using Puppet?

Thank you,

Regards,
Sergiu

The API will only tell you about MSI based packages, but not
executable-based packages such as those created by InstallShield, NullSoft,
Wise, Innosetup, etc. As a result, it's not a practical method for
discovering installed packages.

 Unfortunately, Windows does not have an API 

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet Windows package not seeing DisplayName in Registry?

[Tomer Paz]

I know its quite late to respond on this (I have issued similar issue in 
another group and got a good answer pointing among other links to this 
thread)
having said that, are you sure there isn't a MS API for 'registered' MSI 
installations? 
I used this script from MS online documentation: 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa369767%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
it sort of claim they have a simple API to exract info on all registered 
MSIs with windows installer.
I used the script and indeed it has shown All installed MSIs, without 
'discriminating' our 'hidden' MSIs :)
that's how I realized there must be some dependency of Puppet windows 
package provider on the add/remove programs...

So, have I missed something? is the claim that MS API doesn't exist still 
in tact? (and I'm btw a *nix person, who unfortunately has to deal 
sometimes with MS stuff...)

I would love to have "ensure => ${version}" working for our hundreds of MSI 
components. Currently doesn't (puppet 3.6)

Thanks

 Can you export the Uninstall registry key for that package? I want to
 see what the SystemComponent, etc values are.

Win32_Product has issues. Simply enumerating the set of installed packages
will cause a consistency check to be performed on all packages:

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet Windows package not seeing DisplayName in Registry?

Josh,

You mentioned:

Does this include the WMI class 
Win32_Product?
  
Win32_product provides a limited set of information about all products 
installed using MSI/Windows Installer.  Although Windows Installer is a 
standard, not all compiled installers use this method.

Unfortunately, Windows does not have an API for retrieving installed
packages. So we scan the registry and apply heuristics to determine which
packages to report on.

The overall goal has been for Puppet to report on the same set of packages
that you see in Add/Remove Programs. Packages whose registry
value SystemComponent=1 are hidden from ARP, so Puppet does the same, see
https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/master/lib/puppet/provider/package/windows/exe_package.rb#L34

Since Puppet never reports on SystemComponents, it will always think they
are absent, and need to be installed each time it runs.

I'm thinking Puppet should not exclude SystemComponents? Are there any bad
side effects if we included them?

Try running `puppet resource package` and see if the package you tried to
installed is in the output, and that it's name matches exactly with the
`name` parameter above.

[Puppet Users] Puppet Windows package not seeing DisplayName in Registry?

[Reginald Choudari]

Hello,

I've got Package resource on my Windows machine that keeps creating itself 
even though the package has been properly installed.

I've got the name attribute set to the DisplayName found in the Registry 
for the package.

Every time the agent polls, I see in the Event Logs:

/Stage[main]/Mssql_rtwo_sptwo/Package[mssql2008r2sp2_exec]/ensure: created

This is what's in my manifest:

package { 'mssql2008r2sp2_exec':
ensure  => installed,
name=> 'SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 Common Files',
provider=> windows,
source  => "C:\\puppet_temp\\${mssql_filename}",
install_options => ['/quiet', '/IAcceptSQLServerLicenseTerms', 
'/allinstances'],
require => Exec['run_mssql2008r2sp2_artifact_extract_ps1'],
  }

I'm thinking there has got to be some weird bug/error with this ... Can 
anyone help?

Thanks in advance

[Puppet Users] Puppet Windows - Mapped Network Drive and Service Account

[Kevin D]

On Windows 2008 R2 SP1, after joining to the domain, there is an issue with 
a mapped network drive when Puppet agent runs by the "LOCAL SYSTEM" service 
account.

Using dependency chaining, a near the beginning module is 
"map-networkdrivez". The module execs a batch file that if Z:\ does not 
exist (not already mapped), maps Z:\ to a Windows 2008 R2 SP1 file server 
with a hidden share "data$". The file server is configured for anonymous to 
allow share access (with the appropriate NTFS and Share permissions).

By default, when the puppet agent runs as the service, the associated 
service account is "local system". On first run, the batch file 
appropriately maps the drive and the modules have access to the resources 
of the mapped network drive.

Once a module executes that joins the computer to the domain and restarts 
the computer, subsequent puppet runs fail because of a failed resource 
dependency on Z:\:

 Could not evaluate. Could not retrieve information from environment 
production source(s) file:/z:/Install-Exe.ps1

I setup a SysInternal's Process Monitor trace during a puppet run:

Path   = "\\;LanmanRedirector\;Z:03e7\10.202.1.27\Data$\"
Result = "ACCESS DENIED".

I verified the same result using psexec to open a cmd prompt under the 
"LOCAL SYSTEM" account by opening a CMD with administrative privileges, 
running "psexec -hsi cmd" and navigating to "z:"

Access is denied.

If using the local administrator account I open a cmd prompt  run 
"C:\Program Files(x86)\Puppet Labs\Puppet\bin\puppet agent -t" all the 
modules will execute successfully.
If I change the Puppet service account from "LOCAL SYSTEM" to 
"testwindows004\Administrator" all the modules will execute successfully.

Has anyone else seen this behavior? Any thoughts on how to overcome this 
issue?

Also, if you are using Puppet 3, then you can use the `package`
resource to install the executable. Just make sure the package name in
the manifest matches what's in Add/Remove Programs.

It is because the Exec runs every time and has a signaling relationship 
(designated by ~>)  with the service.  (And note that the Service's 
'require' of the Exec is redundant.)  An Exec changes state from "not run" 
to "run" when its command is successfully executed, and that triggers an 
event to be dispatched to any listeners.  Services restart if they receive 
events, which Puppet by default implements by stopping and then starting 
the service.

The best approach would probably be to package the install program and 
anything else associated with the service into an installable package (i.e. 
an .msi file) and have the Service depend on the package instead of 
directly on the installer program.  If that's not feasible, then you can 
use one or more of the Exec's 'onlyif', 'unless', and 'creates' parameters 
to instruct it whether it should execute the main command on any given 
catalog run.

"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?

[Puppet Users] Puppet Windows Service keeps stopping/starting

[jim]

Hello all,

Can anyone please help, every time I push a config to my hosts, the windows 
service I have just defined keeps stopping and starting, and logging in the 
eventlog, 

I only want the service to stop and start, if something has changed, and to 
my knowledge nothing has changed ? so it should stay running ?

Can some one please help or explain 

regards

James

I'm pretty sure this is https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/13055

Try specifying the modulepath as
`--modulepath=C:/devops/trunk/puppetmodules` The issue here is that
the win32-dir gem patches Dir.pwd, causing it to return a path with
backslashes. This confuses the autoloader in 2.7.x. However, this
should not be an issue in 3.0. If so, please let me know.

[Puppet Users] puppet windows importing manifests twice when using puppet apply

[Corey Osman]

I am trying to create a masterless local windows installer and I have run 
into an issue where puppet is importing my manfiests multiple times 
creating multiple declaration errors.
 
You may notice the importing occurs twice but with different directory 
layouts.  One import is via puppet while the other has something to do with 
the modulepath I declared.
 
 
Any ideas?

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet windows -

[Pavel Drobushevich]

Hi Josh,

Thanks that you remember my case. Unfortunately I couldn't wait and restart
server on weekend and now puppet works fine. Before it I started

ruby -e "require 'digest/sha1'

And It completed ok. I didn't change Path (and never add ruby to path, as I
understand puppet use environment.bat) or install puppet updates/patches. I
couldn't do any test now, because problem was fixed after restart. But if
it happen again I may replay and I hope provide more information.

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet windows -

[Josh Cooper]

Hi Pavel,

Can you try the following:

ruby -e "require 'digest/sha1'; puts Digest::SHA1.hexdigest('foo')"

If that works, try:

ruby -e "require 'digest/sha1'; puts
Digest::SHA1.hexdigest('C:/puppet/sys/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-mingw32/digest/sha1.so')"

You should get:

7479672868457859e36fd0a0e35fc20dc066ebe1

Also, what is your PATH and RUBYLIB?

Did you recently update (Patch Tuesday)?

Josh

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet windows -

[Pavel Drobushevich]

Hi Josh,

I've installed puppet from official msi puppet-enterprise-2.5.0.msi. There 
are no any other ruby installation on this machine. Ruby version returns 
following info:
1.8.7 (2011-12-28 patchlevel 357) [i386-mingw32]
It've been working about 2 months, but suddenly yesterday stopped.

Thanks, Pavel

Are you using a different ruby version than is included in the MSI? On
my local dev system with Puppet installed I don't see an i386-mingw32
directory:

  c:/puppet/sys/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-mingw32

I do see the following however:

   /puppet/sys/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/digest/sha2.rb

Also this link describes the same problem, may be a ruby 1.9.3-p0
issue on Windows: https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/issues/102

Or perhaps your system PATH and/or RUBYLIB is picking up a different
version than the one the MSI installed.

Hi all,

fine, but on one of them it was fail down and couldn't start work again. I

advance.

Your mvn.bat script is trying to invoke cmd, but failing because the
PATH environment is not correct, see more below.

Just a side note, since ruby is a 32-bit executable, file system
redirection takes effect, causing puppet to launch the 32-bit cmd.exe.
This may or may not be an issue for you depending on what you are
trying to do. There's more info here[1]

Puppet doesn't expand environment variables the way you are thinking.
Change that to:

  path => "C:/Users/agopalakrishnan/Software/apache-maven-2.2.1/bin;${path}",

When compiling the catalog, the `path` parameter (for the exec
resource) will be interpolated using the `path` fact as reported by
the agent. More about using variables here[2]

[Puppet Users] Puppet windows newbie: command runs but ends with failure

[Anoop Gopalakrishnan]

Hi , 
  I am new to Puppet and I just started testing it out in my windows 
machine to do a set of tasks which I do manually currently and once I get 
the hang of it would like to use it for provisioning later. My current task 
is pretty simple:
1. Run an svn update command on a folder
2. Run maven install command
3. ... a whole bunch of other tasks related to setting up a custom server 
on a users machine.

However , when I run an exec like the below, I can see that the maven runs 
successfully  but the task fails at the end as shown below:

/Stage[main]/Cmserver/Exec[mvninstall]/returns: [INFO] Compiling 59 source 
files to

Any help is greatly appeciated.

Or is that a typo? Should that be `del` instead of `dev`?

 however, files are not deleted, as evidenced by running the same forfiles

 Suggestions?  Bug?

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet Windows: scheduled_task : TypeError

[Josh Cooper]

Hi Greg,

I believe this is issue https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/13008, which
I have fixed in my topic branch and is awaiting to be merged into 2.7.x. It
would be great if you could try it out and let me know how it goes.

[Puppet Users] Puppet Windows exec

[Jay Ze]

Hi,

Is it correct that it's not possible to excecute Windows Commands
directly with the puppet run?

For example:

exec { 'ExecCreatedFolder':
   command => "mkdir C:\PuppetOrdner\ExecCreatedFolder",
}




I allways have to bind it with a .bat file right?




file { 'c:/PuppetFolder/puppettest.bat':
  ensure  => file,
  owner => 'administrator',
  content  => "mkdir C:\PuppetFolder\BatchCreatedFolder",
  }


exec { 'c:/PuppetFolder/puppettest.bat':
   require => File['c:/PuppetFolder/puppettest.bat'],
}

You can disable file system redirection using the special 'sysnative'
alias: C:\Windows\Sysnative\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config. But
acccording to MS this is not available on 2003[1], which is odd, because
then 32-bit processes in 64-bit 2003 can't disable file system redirection
on a per-file basis. There are APIs for disabling file system redirection
for the entire process, but that would probably break 32-bit ruby.exe

Perhaps the best option is to create a symlink to the IIS configuration
directory[2]. However, 2003 doesn't support symlinks, so again I'm not sure
how to do this on 64-bit 2003. Also puppet cannot currently manage symlinks
on Windows, so you'd have to use an exec resource to do that.

I'll add a note to our troubleshooting guide about 32vs64bit. I'd be
curious to hear about which approach you end up taking.

Is your Windows 7 box 32-bit? If you're using 32-bit ruby on a 64-bit
Windows 2008 R2 to edit
C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config,
Windows may be redirecting you to %windir%\syswow64\inetsrv instead:

On Windows 7 the scripts run perfect, but on Windows 2008 R2 still

Are you running puppet agent from cmd.exe? or as a service? If the

[Puppet Users] Puppet Windows: Spaces in file paths a problem?

[Mohamed Lrhazi]

I thought I read somewhere in Puppet docs/wiki... that it is
"recommended" to avoid spaces in file paths, or some similar verbiage,
but now I cant find it.

Does Puppet have any known issues with spaces in file paths? It would
of course scare Windows admins away... So I hope I am wrong in
thinking I read that.

Thanks a lot,
Mohamed.

Since the scheduled_task type uses the v1 Windows API, being able to set
repetitions at resolutions more fine grained than the daily level isn't
possible, without creating multiple triggers to create the within a day
repetition manually.

If you know of a good Ruby interface to the newer Task Scheduler APIs,
which support this, then it would be possible for someone to write
another provider that supported this.

[Puppet Users] Puppet Windows: scheduled_task : TypeError

am trying this:

scheduled_task { 'Puppet Run':

Another question I have is how do I schedule for every 30 minutes? or
every one hour?

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet Windows: msi packages removal

[Mohamed Lrhazi]

and then, indeed, maybe the provider could take a helper hint about
how to go about detecting the presence of a package, kind of like
Service takes hints about how to detect a service is running or not...

Then maybe: detect_with_file => "C:\\Program Files\\Splunk\\bin\\splunk.exe"

Thanks,
Mohamed.

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet Windows: msi packages removal

[Mohamed Lrhazi]

I think the documentation about package providers should include
something about this...
Right now a provider has these features:

holdableinstall_options installable purgeable   uninstallable   
upgradeable versionable

Maybe something like: detectable

Meaning the provider can effectively detect whether the package is
installed or not, as opposed to "can remember if it did install it or
not".

Thanks a lot,
Mohamed.

It's certainly a limitation, and not ideal.  This is currently how the
appdmg provider behaves on OS X, so it's not entirely unexpected
behavior (for people that are used to how Puppet works on systems
without centralized package management systems).

An alternative would be to create a parameter along the lines of exec's
'creates' where you would need to specify a file that would only exist
iff the 'package' had been successfully installed.

When we were investigating things initially I believe that the reason we
had to rule out things like checking the registry was that there were
too many ways for an installer to misbehave that would break any of the
detection that we would need to do.

I don't know whether or not a 'creates' parameter would end up being
more problematic or not, but I certainly welcome discussion from people
who are actually doing real systems management using Puppet on Windows.

[Puppet Users] Puppet Windows: msi packages removal

[Mohamed Lrhazi]

I noticed that is if I uninstall an MSI that was installed by Puppet,
Puppet does not notice.

Looking at the source I see it might be checking for a state file to
know whether a package is installed or not:
C:\ProgramData\PuppetLabs\puppet\var\db\package\msi\SplunkForwarder.yml

So one has to rememebr to delete that too Is this design not a problem?

Thanks,
Mohamed.

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet Windows: Should I use dedicated "environment" ?

[Aaron Grewell]

I wouldn't expect a lot of class overlap, so it might be simpler to do
it that way, but it also means a completely different directory tree.
It's going to come down to the personal taste of the admins I expect.

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet Windows: Should I use dedicated "environment" ?

[Mohamed Lrhazi]

Thanks guys. We do use environments already, and we also do use this
pattern for separating operating system specific details to sub
classes... but we only had to deal with Red Hat/CentOS/Oracle
Enterprise Linux, and Solaris

I guess I was thinking that "windows" is so different that it should
be totally separate :)

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet Windows: Should I use dedicated "environment" ?

[Aaron Grewell]

Another way to handle this is to have class-level logic:
class something {
 if ( $operatingsystem == "windows" ) { include something::windows }
 if ( $operatingsystem == "redhat" ) { include something::redhat }
}

Then put your resources in something::windows, something::redhat, etc.
 You may duplicate some code this way, but when the OS'es are very
different you'll ultimately save coding time and increase readability
by avoiding resource-level logic.

I use multiple environments for separating development and production
systems. The only really draw back I encounter is the need to make the
same change twice for certain things that are shared between both
environments. I ma sure there is wa way around that, but it has not
become enough of an issue to make me find it.

Correct, there is only an 'msi' package provider.

  1.) Check for existence of a file known to be installed from the
relevant
installer.  If the file is found, the script exits.
  2.) Some method to check the registry at

"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products"
for the existence of the program.
  3.) Run Puppet Agent less often on the client so it is "not such a big

If the packages are "well-behaving" they should follow these guidelines
during install/uninstall[1]. In particular, they should add the
appropriate registry entries under:

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet Windows support

[Josh Cooper]

Yeah, Windows users!

The 2.6 release introduced preliminary support for Windows (limited to just
managing files).

  http://www.puppetlabs.com/2dot6/

The ticket you found provides a good view of the work we have completed and
are targeting for the release.

  http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/8268

In particular, we will be adding providers for file, exec, user, group,
service, etc types. Some of these providers have already been implemented,
others are actively being worked on.

If you are interested in trying it out, you can download the source for
facter and puppet from github (ignore the step about installing puppet and
facter as gems as described in the wiki). Lets us know if you run into any
issues.

I think if you look through the mail list for the past 6 weeks, you'll see

[Puppet Users] Puppet Windows support

[Maven User]

Hi all -

I'm pretty new to puppet and have started diving into the deep end -
very excited to ditch crappy scripts for the manifest concept!

I have a couple of questions around windows support.

I followed the windows support wiki entry to the bitter end and then
realized there's no agent support.  If I understand correctly, agents
are installed on the machines you want to manage and the master server
pushes out details to that agent about how that agent should configure
that server.

If there's currently no agent support, is there any point?  The
"Platforms we support" page for puppet claims Windows support -
leaving me very confused.

I also have found this ticket:

http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/8268

That also suggests there's no agent support.

PS - love what I'm seeing but it'd be HUGE if Windows was treated as a
first class citizen.
