HI All,
I am working on windows 2012. I have four patches to be installed in my system and i am planning to do this through puppet. I need to skip the already installed software and resume the remaining models to execute.
Because of Puppet's idempotent nature, anything that has already been done will be "skipped" since there is nothing to do. Take a look at https://forge.puppet.com/puppetlabs/r... to incur a reboot. So if you have:
package { 'something': ensure => installed, }
...followed by a reboot. The next time the agent goes, it will skip over Package[something] because it's already been done.
Puppet normally runs once a half hour, but I believe that a puppet run will be kicked off the first time you start it as a service. I only have experience on linux, but you should see if the 'service start' call causes puppet to run.. if so it may run first thing after a reboot.
