---------------------------------------- Feature #21243: Allow the windows service user to be specified during installation https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/21243#change-97716 * Author: Josh Cooper * Status: Accepted * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Category: * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: * Keywords: windows * Branch: ---------------------------------------- Currently, puppet on windows is configured to run as `LocalSystem` and sets the startup type to `automatic`. Many enterprise customers prefer to run agents under a service account, as this provides the ability to set permissions to network resources, [limit CPU usage](http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff384148%28WS.10%29.aspx), etc. It would desirable if the installer allowed the service user (local or domain) and password to be specified during installation. After installation, puppet will automatically start, generate a CSR, etc, which can present a problem when you just want to install puppet and then image the system.
