Hi,

I suggest you share the error, so we can actually suggest a suggestion.

Good luck with Puppet on Windows 7 :)

Hi Valar,

When you installed Puppet on Windows, one of the details you filled in
was the DNS address of your Puppet Master (defaults to puppet). The
agent will contact this address the first time it starts up to create
and submit a certificate for signing on that Puppet Master. Without
more information, my best guess is that the agent isn't pointing at a
Puppet Master to complete this step.

If you're without a Puppet Master, you'll have to use something other
than Windows to run it but it's a fairly trivial install (at least for
Puppet Enterprise). Here's some more information on that from our docs
site: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/windows/installing.html#puppet-master-requirements

Hope that helps!
