Puppet / PUP-10960 Windows agent installer errors on environment mismatch Issue Type: Improvement Affects Versions: PUP 7.4.1 Assignee: Unassigned Components: Windows Created: 2021/03/10 6:55 AM Priority: Normal Reporter: Kevin Reeuwijk When migrating a Puppet Agent from one PE environment to another, there can be a change in the puppet code environment the node is classified in. On Linux, this does not cause a problem. However on Windows, this error occurs during installation of the agent, using the PE oneline-installer: PS C:\Users\administrator.DREAMWORX> .\install.ps1 -v VERBOSE: Transferring package from source https://pe.dreamworx.nl:8140/packages/2021.0.0/windows-x86_64/puppet-agent-x64.msi VERBOSE: Downloading the Puppet Agent for Puppet Enterprise on NEXUS...

Re: Windows agent installer errors on environment mismatch This is probably caused by PUP-6554. If you set environment in the main section and run puppet resource, then puppet requires that the environment directory exist, since it may need to load types/providers from a module to manage the resource. It is highly recommended that environment never be set in the main section, which is why we emit warning if --section is emitted when setting it from the CLI: $ bx puppet config set environment dev Warning: The environment should be set in either the `[user]`, `[agent]`, or `[server]` section. Variables set in the `[agent]` section are used when running `puppet agent`. Variables set in the `[user]` section are used when running various other puppet subcommands, like `puppet apply` and `puppet module`; these require the defined environment directory to exist locally. Set the config section by using the `--section` flag. For example, `puppet config --section user set environment foo`. For more information, see https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/latest/configuration.html#environment
