Contents of the node file !!!

[rkathpal]

Dear Simon,

The purpose of using this module for me is to just install IIS and asp.net on windows 2003 server, windows 2008 and windows 2008. Can you please confirm if this this module will serve the purpose and what should be the content of my nodes.pp file to achieve this ?

Really appreciate your help in this matter...

I tried using this... node 'abc' { iis_site { 'Default Web Site':
ensure => present } }

but am getting the following error

info: Loading facts in C:/ProgramData/PuppetLabs/puppet/var/lib/facter/win_commo n_desktop_directory.rb info: Caching catalog for abc info: Applying configuration version '1360308841' err: Could not find a suitable provider for iis_site notice: Finished catalog run in 0.14 seconds

I hv the module iis in the directory /etc/puppet/modules/

Hi. The module uses appcmd.exe to perform its work which means it needs IIS to be installed. For Windows 2008 R2 you can use the dism module to install IIS and its relevant optional components. For earlier versions of Windows unfortunately you'll need something other than the dism module. DISM works so well, it makes it a pain to use earlier versions of Windows.
