[Puppet Users] puppet agent 2.7 on windows
Hi Team, Tried following the steps here http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/1/wiki/Puppet_Windows for deploying an agent on windows (windows server 2008 r2) but really finding it hard to make it work (the agent deployment itself went fine after following the steps). I have a working puppet-server on RH 6 and have tested few RH clients which work fine. The very first hurdle is that i don't find a default puppet.conf in c: \programdata\puppetlabs\puppet\etc folder. Only auth.conf is present in this folder. Secondly from the command line when i run puppet config print all , i get a lot of settings. I am really not sure on where it is fetching these settings from ? Basically i need to provide the puppet-server name to the client for it to communicate and register. (In RH this is done in /etc/puppet/ puppet.conf). Tried copying this puppet.conf file to windows server but doesn't work. Any guidance will be very helpful.

Cheers, Ravi A (relatively) quick way to get started would be to put the output of 'puppet agent --genconfig' into the file output by 'puppet agent --configprint config', and modifying to taste. The 'puppet config print all' is getting the settings from the internal defaults of Puppet itself, so it's not really fetching them from anywhere. -- Jacob Helwig http://about.me/jhelwig signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
