Issue #15560 has been updated by Josh Cooper. Assignee set to Josh Cooper Target version set to 2.7.x
I ran into the same issue on a work related project. Since we don't create the user home directory, any subsequent resource that tries to write stuff, e.g. ssh keys, will fail. And forcing the creation of a directory is less than desirable because Windows sets up the DACL differently for user home directories (inherited ACEs are blocked, there's no creator owner ACE, and builtin-users are not granted access) ---------------------------------------- Bug #15560: Puppet on Windows doesn't automatically create user home directories when managehome=>true https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/15560#change-68039 Author: Adam Roben Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Josh Cooper Category: windows Target version: 2.7.x Affected Puppet version: Keywords: windows user managehome Branch: The user type provider on Windows claims to support the managehome property. But setting managehome=>true doesn't actually create the user's home directory. In fact, it seems to have no effect at all. The user's home directory path gets set in the user itself, but no directory is created on disk. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
