Target version: 2.7.x
Affected Puppet version:
Keywords:
Branch:
The puppet msi should create a scheduled task to execute puppet agent every 30
minutes. The task should be configured to run as SYSTEM, which can be done
using the /ru option:
<pre>
C:\>schtasks /create /sc minute /mo 30 /tn puppet /tr
c:\WINDOWS\system32\calc.exe /ru SYSTEM
INFO: The schedule task "puppet" will be created under user name ("NT
AUTHORITY\SYSTEM").
SUCCESS: The scheduled task "puppet" has successfully been created.
</pre>
In addition, the task needs to "Run with highest privileges" on Windows
2008/Vista/Win 7. See
<http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc722152.aspx>. This can be
specified using the `/rl` flag.
<pre>
C:\>schtasks /create /sc minute /mo 30 /tn puppet /tr
c:\WINDOWS\system32\calc.exe /ru SYSTEM /rl highest
SUCCESS: The scheduled task "puppet" has successfully been created.
</pre>
The version of windows can be detected using facter
(Facter.value(:kernelmajversion).to_f >= 6.0) See this page for information
about major versions in windows
<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms724832(v=vs.85).aspx>
During uninstall we should remove the scheduled task.
<pre>
C:\>schtasks /delete /tn puppet
</pre>
