I am running puppet 2.7.14 - CentOS 6 server, CentOS and windows 2008 R2
clients.

I'm having problems with the "puppet kick" command - it works on linux
clients, and on my windows box when "puppet agent --no-daemonize --verbose"
is run from a command prompt. However, when I run it as a windows service,
I get "Host blah failed: Connection refused - connect(2)" and "blah
finished with exit code 2". Any idea why the behaviour might be different
when running as a service vs running from the "Start Command Prompt with
Puppet" window?

I did a test with "process monitor" from the windows resource toolkit and
it looks like the service is actually running 'ruby -S -- "puppet" agent
--onetime'..?

Is there a way to force the windows service to use listen mode? I've
modified C:\ProgramData\PuppetLabs\puppet\etc\puppet.conf to have "[agent]
listen=true" but that seems not to be working (at least not when run as a
service).

Thanks!

    The listen option isn't supported yet. See issue #15838.

    Thanks Nan! Do you know if windows support of "-listen" is planned for any
    future release? (it's not clear to me reading the bug that you referenced).

    Hi Matt,

    Minor clarification. Puppet supports --listen on Windows, i.e. when
    executing `puppet agent --listen`. But not when installed as a service
    using the daemon.rb wrapper (which is the out-of-the-box
    configuration). The reasons for this are memory usage issues
    associated with long running ruby processes[1], security implications
    of a network server running as LocalSystem, etc.

    So it is possible to change the "Puppet Agent" service to run
    something different, but it's not something that I would encourage due
    to the problems mentioned above.

    The long term plan is to deprecate puppet kick[2] in favor of using
    mcollective (mcollective 2.0 supports Windows)[3]. There is also an
    executable installer[4] from the community.

    HTH,
    Josh

    I've installed mcollective, and I can get data from the client (IE: "mco
    inventory mywindowsclient"). I've configured the puppetd agent plugin, and
    that shows up in the "mco inventory" output as well. However, I still
    cannot trigger puppet to update on the client. Any idea of what the cause
    might be, or what next steps I can take to debug this? thx.

    BTW: I'm seeing the following on the client, in the mcollective log - not
    sure if this is an issue:

    Hi Matt,

    I'm not sure what the issue is. I recommend posting to the
    mcollective-users list.
