We were able to install by changing the startup mode to manual. Attempting to start the service post install, resulted in: Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
There wasn't anything helpful in event viewer so we moved on to starting the agent manually. The pertinent portion of the output from puppet agent --test --debug --verbose is below: Error: Could not set 'directory' on ensure: Permission denied - C:/ProgramData/P uppetLabs/puppet/var/state/graphs Error: Could not set 'directory' on ensure: Permission denied - C:/ProgramData/P uppetLabs/puppet/var/state/graphs Wrapped exception: Permission denied - C:/ProgramData/PuppetLabs/puppet/var/state/graphs Error: /File[C:/ProgramData/PuppetLabs/puppet/var/state/graphs]/ensure: change f rom absent to directory failed: Could not set 'directory' on ensure: Permission denied - C:/ProgramData/PuppetLabs/puppet/var/state/graphs [0;36mDebug: /File [C:/ProgramData/PuppetLabs/puppet/var/state/graphs]: Nothing to manage: no ensure and the resource doesn't exist [0m [0;36mDebug: Finishing transaction 38297820 [0m Error: Could not prepare for execution: Got 3 failure(s) while initializing: Cou ld not set 'directory' on ensure: Permission denied - C:/ProgramData/PuppetLabs/ puppet/var/state/graphs; Could not set 'directory' on ensure: Permission denied - C:/ProgramData/PuppetLabs/puppet/var/state/graphs Wrapped exception: Permission denied - C:/ProgramData/PuppetLabs/puppet/var/state/graphs; change fr om absent to directory failed: Could not set 'directory' on ensure: Permission d enied - C:/ProgramData/PuppetLabs/puppet/var/state/graphs So I hopped into the PuppetLabs directory and started looking at permissions. Everything is good up to C:/ProgramData/PuppetLabs/puppet/var. Meaning the Administrators group has full control and can make modifications. That is required for running puppet agent manually outside of the service. Every directory under C:/ProgramData/PuppetLabs/puppet/var is good *except* for C:/ProgramData/PuppetLabs/puppet/var/state. That directory appears to have been created by the service (system account) and does not have any permissions for "Administrators" set. I attempted to alter the permissions, but I just get access denied even with an admin account. So in summary, the service times out for reasons unknown. Running puppet agent manually fails because Administrators cannot modify anything under C:/ProgramData/PuppetLabs/puppet/var/state -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
