Hello everyone, We have recently started using Puppet to do initial system prep on new servers, such as Apache, Java installs, hosts file updates etc. However, we are now exploring the possibility of extending Puppet to manage Windows Updates. Er... has anyone done it?
The requirements are simple: give Puppet a list of KB items to download and it would go and deploy these on whatever servers Puppet Agent is running on. We are happy for servers to go download a copy of patches, so we won't be using Puppet's central repository of installers (since Windows update installers are different depending on OS and architecture). I found a PowerHell script here - http://www.flobee.net/programmatically-run-windows-update-as-part-of-a-broader-patch-and-reboot-process/ - that could probably be, somehow, integrated into Puppet but if there's an easier way or modules that do it already, then I would appreciate a pointer.
