Works fine:
id: "nt-autorität\x5csystem"
Unfortunately I STILL get the error when running as service. I cannot
find anymore umlauts
Just checked with an English Windows 7:
id: "nt authority\x5csystem"
Uhm, so why is it "binary" in the German version?
I suppose decoded this is "NT Authorität\x5csystem" and that's where
the umlaut \x84 comes from which puppet doesn't like.

I have an idea! I was playing around with foreman and noticed a new
error message:
root@foreman:~# /etc/puppet/node.rb winpet1
Could not send facts to Foreman: "\x84"

Oh, I see! I just did that, used the user ADMINISTRATOR and

Okay, now we know that the problem has to do with the user SYSTEM.

Yes, running as "ADMINISTRATOR" works without flaws.
I don't know how to run "puppet agent -t" as SYSTEM. Is that possible
at all?
Thanks,
Andy.

I tried downgrading to puppet MSI 3.4.2
and even removed as much as I could from my site.pp and modules dir.
But I still get the same error. :-(

I tried with the dir.rb from the github-link
but unfortunately it didn't change anything.

Good questions. Aren't all services running as administrator?

Hi!
I've got a problem with Windows clients:
When running "puppet agent -t" manually everything works.
(as "administrator" in a "run as administrator" shell)
But a run from the puppet-service throws
"Error 400 on SERVER: Could not inte rn from pson: "\x84" on US-ASCII"
and puppet uses the cac

Windows doesn't have md5sum functionality built in. I have to get
md5sum.exe to the machine somehow.
The ARCHIVE module uses curl, rm, tar, unzip, ...
Lots of unix tools. :-(

Most of them are Linux, but many user workstations are Windows.
I am trying to set up puppet to update the most security crucial
programs on these Windows machines: Java, Flash, Firefox, Thunderbird
Hi Rafael,

Thanks, I'll try that! Sounds promising.
Now I only have to find a way to securely get md5sum.exe onto the
machines, uhm...
Thanks!

Thanks, that's a good solution!
For my windows clients I need something different, though. :-(
Apparently there is no solution yet. How would I go about writing a
plugin myself? Unfortunately I'm still too new to puppet...
Thanks,

Hi,
I've got several modules which grab installer files from a network
share. The share is readonly and as well protected as possibly.
But still, I have a bad feeling about it and would like to introduce
an extra layer of security. Like checking the md5sum of the file
before running the installe

I thought I had understood recursive directory management. It worked
fine until I switched to puppet v3 (Debian 3.3.2-1puppetla to be exact)
Since then, files in subdirs aren't copied anymore.

Yes, German.
I removed all occurrences of German characters from the puppet configs
but that didn't help either. Even the simplest test failed with this
error message.
Any German puppet users out there??? :-)

Hi all,
after setting up puppet for my linux clients yesterday I started
tackling the windows7 PCs. I managed setting up users and deploying
files but I couldn't get it to install software, e.g. Mozilla Firefox.
I ran into various problem. First, puppet agent threw strange errors
