"Windows Update" service Startup Type is changed to "Disable" everytime

[Amrit Atmajit]

Hi,

I'm using puppet agent 1.7.0. I'm trying to update the Startup Type and Status of "Windows Update" service as Manual and Stopped respectively in the host machines.

To do so, I'm using the following resource type.

    service { 'WindowsUpdate':

     name       => 'wuauserv',

     ensure     => 'false',

     enable     => 'manual'

    }

Even, I've used the following resource type to do so.

    exec { 'Windows_Update':

      path  => 'C:/Windows/System32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0',

      command => 'powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -command "Set-Service wuauserv -startuptype "manual" -status "Stopped"',

      logoutput => 'on_failure',

      require => [ File['C:/PuppetSWT/windows_update_service.ps1'] ],

    }

But, on execution "puppet agent -t" in the agent machine, the Startup Type and Status of "Windows Update" service is changed to "Disable" and "Stopped".

Then, I disabled the above catalog for that agent machine and manually changed service Startup Type to "Manual" but, on execution of "puppet agent -t" it's changing to "Disable" again.

I don't have a clue why this is happening so. Can anybody help on this?

Thanks,

Amrit
