First, uninstalling and blowing away C:\ProgramData\PuppetLabs resulted in the original error when performing a clean uninstall. However, we did find one combination that worked.
#1. Uninstall and ensure C:\ProgramData is absent #2. Install with PUPPET_AGENT_STARTUP_MODE=Manual #3. Following installation and *BEFORE* attempting to run puppet agent service, run puppet agent as admin. By running "puppet agent" not only did it run to completion unlike past attempts following a failed start of the service, it also mysteriously changed the puppet agent startup mode to automatic and now the puppet service works. In the past when we followed steps #1 and #2 and attempted to start the service following installation, the service failed to start and broke the client due to permissions. By running the client before the service, everything is fine and dandy. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
