FACT-1803

Core fact disk not available on Windows OS

Issue Type:	New Feature
Affects Versions:	FACT 3.6.8
Assignee:	Unassigned
Components:	Windows
Created:	2017/12/07 11:24 PM
Environment:	Windows all versions (in our environment we only have 2008r2 -> 2016) but all other versions should be effected as well
Priority:	Normal
Reporter:	Fredrik Nilsson

When looking into handling additional hard drives on Windows I consulted our Linux guys to se how they handled the same situation as their platform is a lille bit more mature when it comes to puppet. After their explanation and trying to reproduce the sam behavior on Windows we realized that the built in fact for disks don't report on Windows as it had not been ported to that os for what it seems. This is a really bad shortcoming. There are solutions out there that we are gona stick to for now, but this really is a shortcoming having no facts on windows boxes when it comes to disks.
