Re: Ability to manage a windows service's user account and password

This ticket has not been updated in some time and is now being closed due to inactivity. In addition, there appears to be a third-party workaround (see comment from Josh Cooper above). If any viewer/watcher feels closing this ticket is an error, or if the suggested workaround is insufficient, please re-open it and add a comment explaining. Our apologies in advance for any mistake on this.

Re: Ability to manage a windows service's user account and password

This would be a great feature because it would more easily allow people to configure the puppet agent service and what user/password/domain it runs with.

I run into this all the time and usually fall back to setting those things at agent install time.

This is a 4 year old feature request that is still needed.

Hi, This is possible using the dsc module doing something like the below. I have this working in my environment.

//DSC code
 
dsc_xservice { 'service_name':
 
  dsc_name => 'service_name',
 
  dsc_desktopinteract => false,
 
  dsc_credential => {
 
    'user' => $service_account,
 
    'password' => Sensitive($service_account_password)
 
  },
 
}

This should not still be an unassigned feature request after 6+ years.  Service accounts are a staple of the enterprise environments.

Re: Ability to manage a windows service's user account and password

Hi Puppet,

I have been testing this out and really struggled to find any documentation that specified the changes here.

I worked it out; please can you update your documentation here and here?

Anyone else reading, something like this works:

 

// this worked for me:
 
service { 'name-of-service':
 
  logonaccount  => 'domain\\user', 
  logonpassword => $secret, #sensitive
 
  ensure        => 'running',
 
  enable        => 'true', 
}
