Hello all,

I am trying to figure out how to install puppet enterprise agent on a windows box...while on LInux we just simple do below to install PE agent

curl -k https://<MASTER HOSTNAME>:8140/packages/current/install.bash | sudo bash

but on windows, i need to download an msi file(looking at the docs)....where would i find that msi file ?? the download link given in the below docs (even when i fill out the info), takes me to installation binaries of the master...i need it for the puppet agent...

https://docs.puppetlabs.com/pe/latest/install_windows.html#installing-puppet

so my question is -

1. Where can i download the puppet agent(Enterprise) for windows

2. Are there any other step-step docs/reference on puppet on windows ??

From the link above, click through the links "download" | "Download installers for additional masters and agents" | enter your details and "Continue". There you can download agents for the most recent version (PE 2015.2) or follow the link to agents for older versions.

2. Are there any other step-step docs/reference on puppet on windows ??

Max,

I'm not a Puppet expert, and I don't want to talk out-of-school. But, I don't think there's as much information available for Puppet on Windows as there is for Puppet on Linux. That said, I have Puppet installed on about 50 Windows hosts, and it works well, for the most part. Vis-a-vis documentation, here's a good place to start: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/windows/ (what a suprise :-) ). Others have written blogs about Puppet on Windows, and they're helpful. You'll just have to look around.
