> You should use the puppetlabs registry module to configure the dns suffixes :) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/275553 seems to imply that this no longer works on Windows 7. > What does your filebucket resource look like?

It did not have the fqdn. > Or alternatively, use the value `$servername` so that it uses the same > setting as `Puppet[:server]`. $servername worked beautifully, thank you! ---------------------------------------- Bug #18565: filebucket doesn't seem to inherit server https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/18565#change-81491 Author: Paul Tötterman Status: Rejected Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: windows Target version: Affected Puppet version: 3.0.2 Keywords: windows dns filebucket config Branch: I have a puppet master at puppet.example.com. Windows machines in the same zone, e.g. win1.example.com have been using puppet just fine. Now I installed windows machine in another zone, sub.example.com, with the machine being, e.g. win2.sub.example.com. That machine didn't find the puppet server (because windows doesn't get dns search list from dhcp, sigh) and I get the "getaddrinfo: The storage control blocks were destroyed" -messages referenced in the windows troubleshooting documentation. So I edit puppet.conf, and make sure that the line with server = has the fqdn, puppet.example.com. Puppet is able to start the run. I manage the puppet.conf file using puppet, so when the time comes to update that, puppet tries to make a backup into a server filebucket and fails with "getaddrinfo: The storage control blocks were destroyed". I checked the effective config using puppet agent --genconfig, and didn't find a mention of a short hostname for the puppet master. The problem disappeared when I added a CNAME from puppet.sub.example.com -> puppet.example.com. So it seems to me like puppet is still using the dns shortname somewhere even though the fqdn is configured in puppet.conf. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
