Install Windows agents with PE package management
Puppet Enterprise (PE) provides its own package management to help you install agents on Windows nodes. You can use this method with or without internet access.
Before you begin: If your primary server doesn't have internet access, download the
appropriate agent tarball and save it to the appropriate agent package directory on your
primary server.
- For 32-bit systems, save the tarball at
/opt/puppetlabs/server/data/packages/public/<PE_VERSION>/windows-i386-<AGENT_VERSION>/ - For 64-bit systems, save the tarball at
/opt/puppetlabs/server/data/packages/public/<PE_VERSION>/windows-x86_64-<AGENT_VERSION>/
Client URL (curl) and World Wide Web Get (Wget) commands can be used to download PE repo tarballs from PE’s private repository. These commands modify the standard agent install script for specific platforms or air-gapped environments. If you do not have a specific need for these commands, follow the procedure in Install agents with the install script.
