Puppet Camp Duesseldorf 2014: Bas Grolleman - Using puppet on windows, do's and don'ts
The document provides guidance on best practices for using Puppet to manage Windows systems. It recommends upgrading Puppet, writing clean code, managing reboots with Puppet, leveraging Powershell, using the registry, investing in Chocolatey for package management, adding failure checks, and contributing open source code. It advises against using Puppet to manage domain controllers, solving all issues in Hiera, mixing slashes, and thinking only in file-based terms. The document recaps the dos and don'ts and provides links to additional resources.
