Upgrade fails
The Puppet agent .msi
package overwrites existing entries in the puppet.conf
file. If you upgrade
or reinstall the agent with a different primary server hostname, Puppet applies the new value in
$confdir\puppet.conf
file.
When you upgrade a Windows agent, you must use the same primary server hostname that you specified when you originally installed the agent.
For information on configuring puppet.conf
and which
settings are preserved during upgrades, refer to MSI properties.
