• Scaricamento ed installazione della versine NON superiore a quella del puppet master http://downloads.puppetlabs.com/windows

• Installare con

msiexec /qn /i puppet-xyz.msi PUPPET_MASTER_SERVER=puppet.example.priv

• Oppure a mano, indicando l'FQDN del server puppet

puppet.example.priv

• Al termine dell'installazione, verificare che ci sia il certificato da firmare, e firmarlo. Sul puppet master:

sudo puppet cert list
 "winclient.example.priv" (SHA256) 7A:20:89:C4:18:CB:07:17:85:10:52:09:86:21:14:53:A6:C2:27:D4:C1:45:B5:E1:79:44:F3:B1:32:FA:89:BE

• Firmarlo:

sudo puppet cert sign winclient.example.priv

• Definire sul server una classe

sudo mkdir -p /etc/puppet/modules/test_win_puppet/manifests
sudoedit /etc/puppet/modules/test_win_puppet/manifests/init.pp

class test_win_puppet {
    file { "c:/tmp":
        owner   => "Administrator",
        group   => "Administrator",
        ensure  => "directory",
    }       

    file { "c:/tmp/test_puppet":
        owner   => "Administrator",
        group   => "Administrator",
        content => "TEST",
        require => File['c:/tmp'],
    }
}

• Assegnarlo al puppet server:

sudoedit /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp

node 'winclient.example.priv' {

   include test_win_puppet

}

• Sul client, da prompt di DOS:

sudo puppet agent --test

• Verificare che crei c:\tmp ed il file C:\tmp\test_puppet
