Issue #15559 has been updated by Melissa Stone.
Released in Puppet 3.4.0-rc1 ---------------------------------------- Bug #15559: Puppet can't write into directories it creates on Windows unless SYSTEM account is explicitly given write access https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/15559#change-100707 * Author: Adam Roben * Status: Closed * Priority: High * Assignee: Josh Cooper * Category: file * Target version: 3.4.0 * Affected Puppet version: 2.7.6 * Keywords: windows file permissions dacl ace * Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/2074 ---------------------------------------- Given a manifest like the following: user { 'SomeUser': home => 'C:/Users/SomeUser' password => 'SomePassword', } file { 'C:/Users/SomeUser': ensure => directory, owner => 'SomeUser', group => 'SomeUser', mode => '0775' require => User['SomeUser']; 'C:/Users/SomeUser/SomeFile.txt': ensure => present; } Puppet will fail to create SomeFile.txt because it doesn't have permission to write to C:\Users\SomeUser. On Linux, where Puppet typically runs as root, this is not a problem. But on Windows, the user running Puppet needs to explicitly be given write permissions to C:\Users\SomeUser. Perhaps Puppet should do that automatically? This would both make Puppet's behavior more intuitive, and make it easier to share manifests between Linux and Windows. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
