Puppet 8.x service not starting as expected on Windows.
rismoney opened this issue · comments
After upgrading, either by running an 8.x install either by first uninstalling a 7.x install or by running it over the top, puppet installs successfully on windows 2019/2022 however I receive errors on the starting of the service. Seems to happen moreso on core, but it occurs on both desktop experience and regular. Sometimes after 5-10 starts it will actually start, but usually if stopped, it refuses to start again.
Failed to transition the puppet service to the SERVICE_RUNNING state. Detail: Failed to start the service: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
Running puppet agent interactively works perfectly fine. rolling back to 7.x (even 7.27.0) works, as does starting the 7.x service.
The issue is exclusively on the service starting cleanly after installation. A reboot does not fix it. Nor does removing C:\programdata\puppetlabs, or refreshing to certs.
Any other additional information needed, let me know.
Closing as a dup of puppetlabs/puppet-agent#2459.
