Issue #22622 has been updated by Josh Cooper. Project changed from Puppet to Facter Category deleted (windows) Status changed from Unreviewed to Needs More Information Assignee set to Martijn Grendelman Keywords set to windows Affected Facter version set to 1.7.3
This issue is due to facter 1.7.3 adding external executable fact support. Do you happen to have an executable script (likely powershell) sitting in `%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\PuppetLabs\facter\facts.d` (if you're running as an Administrator), or `~\.facter\facts.d` (if you're not)? This wouldn't have been an issue previously, because facter 1.7.2 and earlier ignored external executable scripts on windows. ---------------------------------------- Bug #22622: Puppet 3.3.0 and Facter completely broken on Windows Server 2003 https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/22622#change-97788 * Author: Martijn Grendelman * Status: Needs More Information * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Martijn Grendelman * Category: * Target version: * Keywords: windows * Branch: * Affected Facter version: 1.7.3 ---------------------------------------- After upgrading Puppet agent on a Windows Server 2003 instance to 3.3.0 (from Puppetlabs-supplied puppet-3.3.0.msi), both Facter and Puppet did no longer work: Facter: Running Facter on demand ...
