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 on both OS only have a single learning curve and given PE is already used in the organisation that is my first choice. In my initial investigation there are a number of critical functions that currently cannot be managed out the box (or via modules on PuppetForge) which i would have expected from a tool such as this. (I appreciate that Windows support on Puppet is relatively new and that I could create my own modules. However that would mean learning Ruby *and* Puppet, diverting resource away from their main job, and convincing management to allow custom coding something that they'd expect out of the box of such a tool is going to be tricky!).
So, are there currently any plans to provide - NTFS file support to allow detailed control of permissions settings and not relying on the very limited POSIX -> Windows mapping in the current File resource. (And yes i understand the RAL and reasons behind it, but this is kind of a deal breaker for us for the Windows side of our estate)? - Setting the user for a Service on Windows? (I know i could probably exec out to sc.exe to achieve this but would like it config managed) And probably not for this forum (but i know PuppetLabs employees are reading)... - Do you have any idea of of when MCollective support in Puppet Enterprise will be provided for Windows.
