974273 - Bare Metal Provisioning Puppet install, authentication, and run with in 2008 deploy task sequence

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Infrastructure & Operations :: RelOps: General, task)

Description

[Mark Cornmesser [:markco]]

Under Mozilla Custom task sequence group added Puppet group with the following steps:

Puppet install 
MDT Application install with: command msiexec /i puppet.msi /passive.

Kill Puppet Service
MDT command: net stop puppet. Killing the service, so that it doesn't run periodically after installation. We want to control when it runs.

RegEdits for Puppet
MDT command: cmd /c regedit -s  %SCRIPTROOT%\RegEdits\PuppetReg.reg. This file is important because of, "Start"=dword:00000003. This sets the Puppet service type to manual. The default would automatic at boot. 

Puppet Dir 1 and 2 
MDT command cmd /c mkdir C:\ProgramData\PuppetLabs\puppet\var\lib\puppet\ssl. Creates the directories needed for Puppet to work with our Puppet.conf file.

puppettize_TEMP copy
MDT command xcopy /s Z:\Scripts\puppettize_TEMP.vbs C:\ProgramData\Puppetlabs\puppet\var\ . The VBS script, which will eventually be replaced, to authenticate with Puppet.  

WGET copy 
xcopy /s Z:\Applications\WGET\wget.exe C:\Windows\System32. The puppettize script needs wget.

Puppet Conf copy 
MDT command xcopy /Y "Z:\Applications\Puppet Puppet\puppet.conf" "C:\programdata\Puppetlabs\puppet\etc\". Our custom .conf file 

Restart Computer 

Puppet Authentication
MDT command cscript.exe C:\ProgramData\Puppetlabs\puppet\var\puppettize_TEMP.vbs"

Puppet Run 
MDT command cmd /c %SCRIPTROOT%\PuppetRun.bat  

I am going to resolve this bug for now. Though parts may change in the future, I just wanted to get the initial working details documented.
