Issue #8268 has been updated by Josh Cooper.
>From meeting 9/1: Action Items: * UNC support. Jacob will see if the msi package provider can install from UNC, Nick will check if path validation handles UNC * User type/provider needs to support windows passwords (see below) Decisions: * Need to support managing passwords. For now this means cleartext passwords, though the team will investigate other options * No SMB mount provider * No MSI installer for puppet agent itself * No native support for running puppet agent as a service (daemonized), though we will ensure the agent can run as an agent, and will provide instructions on how users can install and configure using third party service wrapper programs, nssm * Not all DACL combinations will be supported, e.g. deny access control entries ---------------------------------------- Feature #8268: Basic Puppet agent support on Windows https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/8268 Author: Jacob Helwig Status: Accepted Priority: High Assignee: Jacob Helwig Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: Target Platforms: ================= We're targeting Win2003 R2 and Win2008 R2 Servers.
