When running puppet agent --genconfig (or config print all), puppet generates 3 fact related settings that prevent the agent from being able to start. I don't think this is specific to Windows, but haven't spent time to narrow it down. Just comment out the property that ends with "var/facts" and try again. You'll need to do this for 2 other fact related properties, then you should be good.

[Puppet Users] Re: puppet agent 2.7 on windows
Thanks for your reply. Tried this and was able to get the config file. But i now have a strange problem - The agent starts up and in the log file i see the following error - Sun Nov 20 18:39:45 + 2011 /File[C:/ProgramData/PuppetLabs/puppet/ var/facts]/ensure (err): change from directory to file failed: Could not set 'file on ensure: Permission denied - C:/ProgramData/PuppetLabs/ puppet/var/facts Apart from this, i don't see anything in the log files, both on client and server. Also, i don't see this node in the Dashboard too. Any further troubleshooting steps will be very helpful.
