Managing Windows with Puppet

4 February 2014

One of the more popular sessions from PuppetConf 2013 was James Sweeny's talk, "Managing Windows with Puppet."

James provides some pragmatic tips for how Windows can be managed effectively and easily with Puppet, and compares and contrasts the differences between managing Linux and Windows environments.
