Hi Josh, Did PuppetLabs ever get anywhere with ticket 13249. I'm guessing not as it hasn't been updated for months. I see that PE 3 is now available and that there has been plenty of activity on the Windows side of things (we are about to start a trial with it on some of our Windows estate

I've finally got round to loading what i've done so far onto GitHub. My efforts can be found at https://github.com/damo-se/puppet-dotnetwinservice. This is very untested (only tried on a 32bit .Net 4.0 windows service so far) and doesn't have any rspec tests yet. Also the code isn't

no sorry, i'm only on day 2 of learning Ruby and about day 5 of Puppet. If i'm lucky i get about an hour every other evening to look at this so progress is slow. Once I've got something worthwhile sharing i'll post it somewhere. My two projects are an ntfsfile type (in which you can specify

Hi Josh, First of all thanks for the quick reply. The main priorities to make Puppet usable on Windows for us would be: 1 Control complete state of the DACL for grant (we don't use deny). 2 Control inheritance on DACL (at the same time as being able to control other DACL grant entries for

Hi All, I am currently looking at using PE to provide our config management (and orchestrated deployment via MCollective) for our app stack. It is currently used to manage the Linux OS estate but not yet for Windows. I'd like to use the same tool so that the people who develop and manage apps
