Summary

In this chapter, we first learned how to install Puppet agents on a single computer. Next, we learned how to modify an MSI package, so that we can use it for a silent install. After this, we used the MSI file to install the Puppet agents on multiple hosts using either third-party software or domain group policy.

After finishing the installations, we continued with the management of the host certificates. Finally, we learned how to manage the host groups.

In the next chapter, we will begin to write our first modules to manage the hosts.
