Hello,

We're pleased to announce the first release of the Windows registry
module, version 0.1.0.

This release provides the ability to manage registry keys and values
on Windows 2003, 2003R2, 7, 2008, and 2008R2 systems. It supports the
most commonly used registry value types (REG_SZ, REG_MULTI_SZ,
REG_EXPAND_SZ, REG_DWORD, REG_QWORD, REG_BINARY), as well as purging
unmanaged registry values from a specified key. The module can manage
redirected registry keys and values when running on a 64-bit version
of Windows.

For example:

registry_key { 'HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Puppet':
ensure => present,
}
registry_value { 'HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Puppet\Description':
ensure => present,
type => string,
data => "The Puppet Agent service periodically manages your
configuration",
}

The best way to install this module is with the puppet module subcommand
or the puppet-module Gem.

puppet module install puppetlabs-registry

More information about the module is available here:

http://forge.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs/registry

The 0.1.0 release contained a bug that prevented default values from being managed correctly.  We've just released 0.1.1 to the forge which corrects this problem.


Please let us know if you try out the module and have ideas for how it can be improved.
