Issue #16048 has been updated by Eric Badger.
Just stumbled across this ticket and thought I'd make interested folk aware of this module: https://forge.puppetlabs.com/badgerious/windows_env ---------------------------------------- Feature #16048: Type and provider for managing windows environment, especially PATH https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/16048#change-96691 * Author: Josh Cooper * Status: Accepted * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Category: provider * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: * Keywords: windows env environment path * Branch: ---------------------------------------- The windows system environment is stored in the registry. We should have a type and provider to make it easy to ensure present/absent individual entries. In particular, PATH is one of the environment variables, which is actually a list of directories, each of which may refer to other environment variables, e.g. %WINDIR%\system32. It is currently difficult to express that a particular entry should be present in the PATH. The type should allow the complete list of paths to be ensure present, or a set of paths to be added (similar to the inclusive/exclusive behavior of property lists). <https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/puppet-users/68ebrAEUzgQ> There's also the issue of making the system PATH change take affect without rebooting. <http://mnaoumov.wordpress.com/2012/07/24/powershell-add-directory-to-environment-path-variable/> -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
