Hello all,
I have been banging my head against this one for a couple of days. I am
trying to use Powershell to comb the Windows registry for installed
applications, such as VMware Tools, to create a custom facter. If I run
this code from a PS prompt it works, and returns the expected data:
PS C:\> Get-ChildItem
hklm:\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\uninstall | ForEach-Object
{Get-ItemProperty $_.ps
path} | Where-Object {$_.DisplayName -eq "VMware Tools"} | ForEach-Object
-process {$_.DisplayVersion }
*9.4.6.1770165*
However, running the same thing through Puppet as a facter yields zero data:
----------
Facter.add("vmtools_version") do
confine :osfamily => "Windows"
setcode do
Facter::Util::Resolution.exec('C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe
-Command "& {Get-ChildItem
hklm:\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\uninstall | ForEach-Object
{Get-ItemProperty $_.pspath} | Where-Object {$_.DisplayName -eq \"VMware
Tools\"} | ForEach-Object -process {$_.DisplayVersion } } "')
end
end
----------
The left side shows up in the facters as "vmtools_version", but the right
side is always empty. I have tried using the GetItem module instead, and
tried various combinations of the "-Command" switch, removed the "For-Each"
handler to see if would spit out a huge block of text, and even tried
wrapping the whole thing in a "try & catch" to see if any error states are
generated, but have never gotten any right side output at all.
Does anyone have an idea that might make this work?
