Install Windows agents with the MSI installer

Use the MSI installer for an automated installation process. The installer can configure puppet.conf, configure CSR attributes, and connect the agent to your primary server.

1. Run the MSI installer as administrator.
2. When prompted, provide your primary server's hostname, for example puppet.company.com.
3. Once the agent is installed, you must accept the node's CSR as explained in Managing certificate signing requests.
