Repeating my question from SO.SE here ...
I'm trying to have my configs directory (on Windows server 2016 node) to be synced from puppet master (puppet --version = 5.5.3) modules folder: I have my desired structure repeated under module/files. This:
file { "c:\\":
ensure => directory,
recurse => remote,
source => "puppet:///modules/configs"
}
works for files that exist in source dir, but does not delete files that are deleted from source (from docs I understood that it should) also I tried:
file { "c:\\":
ensure => directory,
recurse => true,
purge => true,
source => "puppet:///modules/configs"
}
but then I get an error:
Error: /Stage[main]/Main/Node[nodename]/File[c:]: Failed to generate additional resources using 'eval_generate': CreateF ile(c:/Documents and Settings, 20000000000, 1, , 3, 210000000, 0): Access is denied.
I was not able to find even descent source telling possible cause for the error; Access denied makes no sense as puppet agent runs with system privileges and should be able to access every path, also script should have nothing to do with c:/Documents and Settings path to my understanding.
Any help to solve this?
