Jira (PUP-11774) Adding lots of hosts on Windows results in "permission denied" errors for some of them
Title: Message Title Dirk Heinrichs commented on PUP-11774 Re: Adding lots of hosts on Windows results in "permission denied" errors for some of them Josh Cooper, thanks for looking into it. You wrote "multiple", but your output only shows adding two hosts. As I wrote in the description, you'd need to add at least 20 to 30 host entries in one agent run for the error to show up and then it also doesn't happen all the time. The complete error message is: Error: Puppet::Util::FileType::FileTypeFlat could not write C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts: Permission denied @ rb_sysopen - C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts Error: /Stage[init]/Hosts/Host[XXX]: Could not evaluate: Puppet::Util::FileType::FileTypeFlat could not write C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts: Permission denied @ rb_sysopen - C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts and it shows up after multiple tens of entries have already been created w/o problems, and afterwards another bunch of entries is created. Sometimes this happens multiple times during one agent run, sometimes not at all. "Permission denied" showing up on a Windows host after lots of successful writes to the same file usually indicates a locking problem, rather than a real permission problem. Maybe this can be solved/worked around by simply adding a retry...

Title: Message Title Dirk Heinrichs commented on PUP-11774 Re: Adding lots of hosts on Windows results in "permission denied" errors for some of them Any news here? This is quite annoying as it requires two Puppet runs to completely setup new Windows hosts.

Adding lots of hosts on Windows results in "permission denied" errors for some of them
Issue Type:
Bug
Affects Versions:
PUP 7.21.0
Assignee:

Components:

Priority:

Reporter:

Puppet Version: 7.21.0 Puppet Server Version: latest OS Name/Version: Windows Server 2019+ When managing a lot of "hosts" resources on Windows (by means of collecting exported resources), the first ones are applied without problems, but later ones fail with
Error: Puppet::Util::FileType::FileTypeFlat could not write C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts: Permission denied @ rb_sysopen - C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts
which looks like some kind of race condition to me. Steps to reproduce: Apply the following class on a new Windows host when Puppet is already managing at least 20 or 30 other hosts, all of which have the same class applied:
class hosts {
# Let each host create a host entry as exported resource
