Hi Paul,

Thanks for this rob. I still cannot get the variable to pass into the
script. Now i have the *setdnsforwarders.ps1.erb* template,
Note puppet doesn't care what the file extension is, so long as the
template('path/to/file') refers to the correct file.
and here is the complete copy of what is in the template:
$outside = <%= scope['dnsforwarders'] %>
$outside | out-file C:\output.log -append
I've also tried the following:
<%= scope.lookupvar('@dnsforwarders') %> | out-file C:\output.log -append
Variables in the current scope can be accessed directly as <%=
@dnsforwarders %>, as opposed to the variable named "@dnsforwarders"
<%= scope.lookupvar('windows_dns::forwarders') %> | out-file C:\output.log
-append
I think the pipeline construct isn't doing what you would expect. I think
you need to quote the ERB snippet, so that powershell sees a literal string:
'<%= scope.lookupvar('windows_dns::forwarders') %>' | out-file
C:\output.log -append
<%= scope.lookupvar('windows_dns::config') %> | out-file C:\output.log
-append
Each time the output.log file is blank.
Here is my windows_dns::config file:
class windows_dns::config {
case $kernelmajversion {
6.3: {
$forwarder_execute =
'windows_dns/setdnsforwarders.ps1.erb'
$forwarder_check = 'windows_dns/checkdnsforwarders.ps1'
$dnsforwarders = $windows_dns::forwarders
}
6.1: {
$forwarder_execute =
'windows_dns/setdnsforwarders_legacy.ps1'
$forwarder_check = 'windows_dns/checkdnsforwarders_legacy.ps1'
}
}
exec { 'forwarderscreate':
command => template ($forwarder_execute),
#unless => template ($forwarder_check),
provider => powershell,
logoutput => true,
}
And here is where the variable is originally defined in the
windows_dns::init.pp
class windows_dns(
$forwarders = '1.1.1.1'
) {
anchor { 'windows_dns::begin': } ->
class{'windows_dns::install': } ->
class{'windows_dns::config': } ->
class{'windows_dns::service': } ->
anchor { 'windows_dns::end': }
}
If you are using a recent version of puppet, you don't need the anchor
pattern. See
https://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/latest/reference/lang_containment.htmlAny help would be amazing to get the variable to pass
Here's an example using an inline template that works correctly. Note I
have to escape the backslash c:\\output.log due to the double quoted
string. You won't need to do that if the template is in an external file:
class windows_dns::config {
$dnsforwarder = "www.example.com"
exec { 'command':
command => inline_template("'<%= scope['dnsforwarder'] %>' | out-file
c:\\output.log -append"),
logoutput => true,
provider => powershell
}
}
include windows_dns::config
C:\>puppet apply powershell.pp
Notice: Compiled catalog for win-agent in environment production in 0.11
seconds
Notice: /Stage[main]/Windows_dns::Config/Exec[command]/returns: executed
successfully
Notice: Finished catalog run in 1.09 seconds
Note this will create a UTF-16LE encoded file with a byte-order mark. You
may want to specify the encoding of the file you're writing to.

Thanks josh, so in my template file setdnsforwarders.ps1 is this the
correct syntax?
setdnsforwarders.ps1.erb
$outside = <%= scope['dnsforwarders'] %>
$outside | out-file C:\output.log -append

Example:
I have my script on powershell in the next path
in Puppet:
define some::module() {
$script = "\\\\server1\\shared\\script.ps1
exec { "Executing a script":
command => "powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -File
${script} ${param1}",
unless => "powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy ByPass

I am using Puppet installed with the powershell module. I am
struggling with how to pass a puppet variable through to powershell. For
instance I have the following in my module *init.pp* file:
class windows_dns(
$forwarders = '1.1.1.1'
) {
anchor { 'windows_dns::begin': } ->
class{'windows_dns::install': } ->
class{'windows_dns::config': } ->
class{'windows_dns::service': } ->
anchor { 'windows_dns::end': }
}
Then in my *config.pp* file I have:
class windows_dns::config {
case $kernelmajversion {
6.3: {
$forwarder_execute =
'windows_dns/setdnsforwarders.ps1'
$forwarder_check = 'windows_dns/checkdnsforwarders.ps1'
$dnsforwarders = $windows_dns::forwarders
}
6.1: {
$forwarder_execute =
'windows_dns/setdnsforwarders_legacy.ps1'
$forwarder_check = 'windows_dns/checkdnsforwarders_legacy.ps1'
}
}
exec { 'forwarderscreate':
command => template ($forwarder_execute),
unless => template ($forwarder_check),
provider => powershell,
logoutput => true,
}
I have stored as a template in the manifest a powershell script file
as:
$dnsforwarders | out-file C:\test.log
I obviously want to use a more complex output. I tried adding a
parameter to the top of my powershell script but dont understand how to
pass that as an option to puppet.
The variable passes through fine. I tested by changing the command
to *command=> template ($dnsforwarders)* and i of course got an
error from puppet about it not being able to find the template named
*1.1.1.1* in the manifest. I just dont know how to pass this
through to the shell.

https://groups.google.com/d/optout.I would recommend using the powershell provider as you were doing. In
your powershell script 'windows_dns/setdnsforwarders.ps1', resolve
parameters using ERB syntax found in
https://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/templating.html#referencing-variables, something like:
<%= scope['dnsforwarders'] %>
