Moving a node from an environment to new one causes error

[Subhi Andrews]

We are windows environment. 

Moved a couple of nodes were moved from our existing environment named tlc to citrix:

Here's our master puppet.conf:

    rundir = /var/run/puppet

    # Where SSL certificates are kept.

    # The default value is '$confdir/ssl'.

    ssldir = $vardir/ssl

    environment = development

[master]

    #Puppet DNS hostname

    dns_alt_names = puppetdev, puppetmaster, puppetdev.parallaxfund.com, puppetdev.parallaxfund.com

    report = true

    tagmap = /etc/puppet/tagmail.conf

    reports = puppetdb,console,tagmail

    pluginsync = true

[agent]

    # The file in which puppetd stores a list of the classes

    # associated with the retrieved configuratiion.  Can be loaded in

    # the separate ``puppet`` executable using the ``--loadclasses``

    # option.

    # The default value is '$confdir/classes.txt'.

    classfile = $vardir/classes.txt

    # Where puppetd caches the local configuration.  An

    # extension indicating the cache format is added automatically.

    # The default value is '$confdir/localconfig'.

    localconfig = $vardir/localconfig

    report = true

    pluginsync =true

[citrix]

    manifest = /etc/puppet/citrix/manifests/site.pp

[tlc]

    manifest = /etc/puppet/tlc/manifests/site.pp

[test]

    manifest = /etc/puppet/test/manifests/site.pp

#    modulepath = /etc/puppet/test/modules

[production]

    manifest = /etc/puppet/production/manifests/site.pp

    modulepath = /etc/puppet/production/modules

[ds]

    manifest = /etc/puppet/ds/manifests/site.pp

===================================================

agent puppet.conf:

[main]

server=pfny5pptdev02

pluginsync=true

autoflush=true

environment=development

[agent]

environment=citrix

runinterval=300

====================================================

If we remove citrix environment from master puppet.conf file and add the  nodes back to tlc environment it still works.

Here's the error we see when we run the agent in test option:

PS C:\Users\sandrews> puppet agent --test --environment=citrix

Info: Retrieving pluginfacts

From puppetserver-access.log, citrix environment

Our puppet version is 3.8.7. Anyone has any clues on how to solve this?


Thanks a lot,

Subhi.
