You should use the puppetlabs registry module to configure the dns suffixes :)

What does your filebucket resource look like? And a file resource that is 
configured to backup into that filebucket?

Are you sure that the filebucket resource uses a fqdn, something like:

<pre>
filebucket { 'main':
  server => 'puppet.example.com',
  path => false
}
</pre>

Or alternatively, use the  value `$servername` so that it uses the same setting 
as `Puppet[:server]`.

Bug #18565: filebucket doesn't seem to inherit server

Keywords: windows dns filebucket config
Branch: 


I have a puppet master at puppet.example.com. Windows machines in the same 
zone, e.g. win1.example.com have been using puppet just fine.

Now I installed windows machine in another zone, sub.example.com, with the 
machine being, e.g. win2.sub.example.com. That machine didn't find the puppet 
server (because windows doesn't get dns search list from dhcp, sigh) and I get 
the "getaddrinfo: The storage control blocks were destroyed" -messages 
referenced in the windows troubleshooting documentation. So I edit puppet.conf, 
and make sure that the line with server = has the fqdn, puppet.example.com. 
Puppet is able to start the run.

I manage the puppet.conf file using puppet, so when the time comes to update 
that, puppet tries to make a backup into a server filebucket and fails with 
"getaddrinfo: The storage control blocks were destroyed". I checked the 
effective config using puppet agent --genconfig, and didn't find a mention of a 
short hostname for the puppet master. The problem disappeared when I added a 
CNAME from puppet.sub.example.com -> puppet.example.com.

So it seems to me like puppet is still using the dns shortname somewhere even 
though the fqdn is configured in puppet.conf.
