 <p>Assuming your puppet master is Puppet Enterprise also, otherwise a PE agent will not work with it.</p> <p>The client needs to know where the puppet master is. Can specify it on the command line with "--server fqdn.of.master" or put it in the agent's puppet.conf file in the main section.</p> <p>I believe you'll find the puppet.conf file on Windows 2008 at c:\ProgramData\PuppetLabs\puppet\etc\puppet.conf</p> <p>On Linux it's at /etc/puppet/puppet.conf</p>
