Issue #12864 has been updated by Daniel Pittman.
We actually need to pull this out of 1.6, and push it to 2.0 - it has two possible behaviour changes: 1. Now the `domain` is the global suffix, not the interface suffix. 2. Now the `domain` is the global suffix, not the empty string, when there is no interface suffix. In both cases this results in the Puppet `certname` changing for the agent, which means reissuing the certificate and key for it. That is a breaking change on Windows, and makes this big enough we should hold it for a major release. (...and document it in the release notes as potentially breaking. ;) ---------------------------------------- Bug #12864: Windows domain fact should use primary dns suffix first https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/12864#change-61873 Author: Josh Cooper Status: Merged - Pending Release Priority: Normal Assignee: Jeff Weiss Category: windows Target version: 1.6.9 Keywords: windows Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/facter/pull/192 Affected Facter version: Currently, the domain fact on Windows looks for the domain of the first network adapter for which IPEnabled is true. But Windows also has a concept of a primary/global dns suffix. If the primary DNS suffix is set, but none of the connection-specific domains are set, then facter will report an empty domain (which also affects the fqdn). According to <http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc959322.aspx> <pre> By default, the primary DNS suffix of a computer that is running Windows 2000 is set to the DNS name of the Active Directory domain to which the computer is joined. </pre> Facter should use the primary DNS suffix as the domain, if it is defined. Otherwise, fall back to what it does now. The value of the primary DNS suffix is stored in <pre>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Domain</pre> There may also be a WMI way to retrieve this. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
