Issue #16581 has been updated by Josh Cooper.
Thanks David. I'm guessing here, but I think the WMI query is especially slow, because we're querying the base `Win32_Account` class, instead of `Win32_UserAccount` or `Win32_Group`. The reason is that we don't know ahead of time whether the file owner/group is a user or group. For example, the file owner can be a group, and the file group can be group. Another possibility is that WMI is retrieving the list of groups the user is a member of, even though we are restricting the query to just return the Sid attribute. In any case, I'll continue with performance work (replacing the WMI calls to use the native Win32 APIs). In the meantime, can you try the following code (both running as a domain user and local user). Hopefully the performance is about the same: <pre> require 'rubygems' require 'win32/security' puts Win32::Security::SID.new(<username>).to_s </pre> Also, can you be sure to use version 0.1.4 of the win32-security gem ---------------------------------------- Bug #16581: Windows file permission management very slow https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/16581#change-73733 Author: David Carr Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Josh Cooper Category: windows Target version: 2.7.20 Affected Puppet version: 2.7.6 Keywords: windows file permissions user group sid slow performance Branch: I'm trying to write some Puppet manifests that support both Darwin and Windows. So far, it's been going pretty well, but I noticed that my manifests were running much more slowly on Windows. I believe that the majority of the slow-down is caused by File resources with owner/group/mode specified. I'm able to reproduce a substantial performance difference between a manifest to create a single empty directory with/without permissions specified. Manifests and output from "puppet apply --debug --verbose --no-daemonize --summarize --color=false --onetime MANIFEST" attached. The machine I'm running these on is a Dell Latitude E6500 running Windows 7 64-bit with Puppet 3.0.0-rc7 installed. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
