Auditing users (AD+local) and groups

[huhm4n]

I'm trying to audit local users and groups in linux and ad,local users,groups on windows using puppet? I looked over, all i can find is to audit permission of file, service status, package installation and all..is there a a way i can get the list of users and have module to see if there is new user or group added/deleted against the list? thanks in advance

Hi,  for this problem you would be better off with other tools.

Nevertheless you could create a facter thar list all the users in the system and use that information in a class to check and save against a centralized db.

Why just run `puppet resource user` which will output the list of local users (and the groups they belong to), or `puppet resource group` which outputs the list of local groups (and its members)?
