Did some one face this issue, can someone help me understand this behavior. How do i make sure that once deactivate/cleaned from puppet master certs removed, net puppet run should ask for the cert request. -Kaustubh -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
