# Windows Cookbook [![Build status](https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/9x4uepmm1g4rktie/branch/master?svg=true)](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/ChefWindowsCookbooks/windows/branch/master) [![Cookbook Version](https://img.shields.io/cookbook/v/windows.svg)](https://supermarket.chef.io/cookbooks/windows) Provides a set of Windows-specific resources to aid in the creation of cookbooks/recipes targeting the Windows platform. ## Requirements ### Platforms - Windows 7 - Windows Server 2008 R2 - Windows 8, 8.1 - Windows Server 2012 (R1, R2) ### Chef - Chef 12.6+ ## Resources ### windows_auto_run #### Actions - `:create` - Create an item to be run at login - `:remove` - Remove an item that was previously setup to run at login #### Properties - `name` - Name attribute. The name of the value to be stored in the registry - `program` - The program to be run at login - `args` - The arguments for the program #### Examples Run BGInfo at login ```ruby windows_auto_run 'BGINFO' do program 'C:/Sysinternals/bginfo.exe' args '\'C:/Sysinternals/Config.bgi\' /NOLICPROMPT /TIMER:0' action :create end ``` ### windows_certificate Installs a certificate into the Windows certificate store from a file, and grants read-only access to the private key for designated accounts. Due to current limitations in WinRM, installing certificated remotely may not work if the operation requires a user profile. Operations on the local machine store should still work. #### Actions - `:create` - creates or updates a certificate. - `:delete` - deletes a certificate. - `:acl_add` - adds read-only entries to a certificate's private key ACL. #### Properties - `source` - name attribute. The source file (for create and acl_add), thumbprint (for delete and acl_add) or subject (for delete). - `pfx_password` - the password to access the source if it is a pfx file. - `private_key_acl` - array of 'domain\account' entries to be granted read-only access to the certificate's private key. This is not idempotent. - `store_name` - the certificate store to manipulate. One of MY (default : personal store), CA (trusted intermediate store) or ROOT (trusted root store). - `user_store` - if false (default) then use the local machine store; if true then use the current user's store. #### Examples ```ruby # Add PFX cert to local machine personal store and grant accounts read-only access to private key windows_certificate "c:/test/mycert.pfx" do pfx_password "password" private_key_acl ["acme\fred", "pc\jane"] end ``` ```ruby # Add cert to trusted intermediate store windows_certificate "c:/test/mycert.cer" do store_name "CA" end ``` ```ruby # Remove all certificates matching the subject windows_certificate "me.acme.com" do action :delete end ``` ### windows_certificate_binding Binds a certificate to an HTTP port in order to enable TLS communication. #### Actions - `:create` - creates or updates a binding. - `:delete` - deletes a binding. #### Properties - `cert_name` - name attribute. The thumbprint(hash) or subject that identifies the certificate to be bound. - `name_kind` - indicates the type of cert_name. One of :subject (default) or :hash. - `address` - the address to bind against. Default is 0.0.0.0 (all IP addresses). - `port` - the port to bind against. Default is 443. - `app_id` - the GUID that defines the application that owns the binding. Default is the values used by IIS. - `store_name` - the store to locate the certificate in. One of MY (default : personal store), CA (trusted intermediate store) or ROOT (trusted root store). #### Examples ```ruby # Bind the first certificate matching the subject to the default TLS port windows_certificate_binding "me.acme.com" do end ``` ```ruby # Bind a cert from the CA store with the given hash to port 4334 windows_certificate_binding "me.acme.com" do cert_name "d234567890a23f567c901e345bc8901d34567890" name_kind :hash store_name "CA" port 4334 end ``` ### windows_feature **BREAKING CHANGE - Version 3.0.0** This resource has been moved from using LWRPs and multiple providers to using Custom Resources. To maintain functionality, you'll need to change `provider` to `install_method`. Windows Roles and Features can be thought of as built-in operating system packages that ship with the OS. A server role is a set of software programs that, when they are installed and properly configured, lets a computer perform a specific function for multiple users or other computers within a network. A Role can have multiple Role Services that provide functionality to the Role. Role services are software programs that provide the functionality of a role. Features are software programs that, although they are not directly parts of roles, can support or augment the functionality of one or more roles, or improve the functionality of the server, regardless of which roles are installed. Collectively we refer to all of these attributes as 'features'. This resource allows you to manage these 'features' in an unattended, idempotent way. There are three methods for the `windows_feature` which map into Microsoft's three major tools for managing roles/features: [Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM)](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd371719%28v=vs.85%29.aspx), [Servermanagercmd](http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee344834%28WS.10%29.aspx) (The CLI for Server Manager), and [PowerShell](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731774(v=ws.11).aspx). As Servermanagercmd is deprecated, Chef will set the default method to `:windows_feature_dism` if `dism.exe` is present on the system being configured. The default method will fall back to `:windows_feature_servermanagercmd`, and then `:windows_feature_powershell`. For more information on Roles, Role Services and Features see the [Microsoft TechNet article on the topic](http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc754923.aspx). For a complete list of all features that are available on a node type either of the following commands at a command prompt: For Dism: ```text dism /online /Get-Features ``` For ServerManagerCmd: ```text servermanagercmd -query ``` For PowerShell: ```text get-windowsfeature ``` #### Actions - `:install` - install a Windows role/feature - `:remove` - remove a Windows role/feature - `:delete` - remove a Windows role/feature from the image (not supported by ServerManagerCmd) #### Properties - `feature_name` - name of the feature/role(s) to install. The same feature may have different names depending on the provider used (ie DHCPServer vs DHCP; DNS-Server-Full-Role vs DNS). - `all` - Boolean. Optional. Default: false. DISM and Powershell providers only. Forces all dependencies to be installed. - `source` - String. Optional. DISM provider only. Uses local repository for feature install. - `install_method` - Symbol. Optional. **REPLACEMENT FOR THE PREVIOUS PROVIDER OPTION** If not supplied, Chef will determine which method to use (in the order of `:windows_feature_dism`, `:windows_feature_servercmd`, `:windows_feature_powershell`) #### Examples Install the DHCP Server feature ```ruby windows_feature 'DHCPServer' do action :install end ``` Install the .Net 3.5.1 feature on Server 2012 using repository files on DVD and install all dependencies ```ruby windows_feature "NetFx3" do action :install all true source "d:\sources\sxs" end ``` Remove Telnet Server and Client features ```ruby windows_feature ['TelnetServer', 'TelnetClient'] do action :remove end ``` Add the SMTP Server feature using the PowerShell provider ```ruby windows_feature "smtp-server" do action :install all true install_method :windows_feature_powershell end ``` Install multiple features using one resource with the PowerShell provider ```ruby windows_feature ['Web-Asp-Net45', 'Web-Net-Ext45'] do action :install install_method :windows_feature_powershell end ``` ### windows_font Installs a font. Font files should be included in the cookbooks #### Actions - `:install` - install a font to the system fonts directory. #### Properties - `name` - The file name of the font file name to install. The path defaults to the files/default directory of the cookbook you're calling windows_font from. Defaults to the resource name. - `source` - Set an alternate path to the font file. #### Examples ```ruby windows_font 'Code New Roman.otf' ``` ### windows_http_acl Sets the Access Control List for an http URL to grant non-admin accounts permission to open HTTP endpoints. #### Actions - `:create` - creates or updates the ACL for a URL. - `:delete` - deletes the ACL from a URL. #### Properties - `url` - the name of the url to be created/deleted. - `sddl` - the DACL string configuring all permissions to URL. Mandatory for create if user is not provided. Can't be use with `user`. - `user` - the name (domain\user) of the user or group to be granted permission to the URL. Mandatory for create if sddl is not provided. Can't be use with `sddl`. Only one user or group can be granted permission so this replaces any previously defined entry. #### Examples ```ruby windows_http_acl 'http://+:50051/' do user 'pc\\fred' end ``` ```ruby # Grant access to users "NT SERVICE\WinRM" and "NT SERVICE\Wecsvc" via sddl windows_http_acl 'http://+:5985/' do sddl 'D:(A;;GX;;;S-1-5-80-569256582-2953403351-2909559716-1301513147-412116970)(A;;GX;;;S-1-5-80-4059739203-877974739-1245631912-527174227-2996563517)' end ``` ```ruby windows_http_acl 'http://+:50051/' do action :delete end ``` ### windows_pagefile Configures the file that provides virtual memory for applications requiring more memory than available RAM or that are paged out to free up memory in use. #### Actions - `:set` - configures the default pagefile, creating if it doesn't exist. - `:delete` - deletes the specified pagefile. #### Properties - `name` - the path to the pagefile, String, name_property: true - `system_managed` - configures whether the system manages the pagefile size.

Integer ### windows_printer_port Create and delete TCP/IPv4 printer ports. #### Actions - `:create` - Create a TCIP/IPv4 printer port. This is the default action. - `:delete` - Delete a TCIP/IPv4 printer port #### Properties - `ipv4_address` - Name attribute. Required. IPv4 address, e.g. '10.0.24.34' - `port_name` - Port name. Optional. Defaults to 'IP_' + `ipv4_address` - `port_number` - Port number. Optional. Defaults to 9100. - `port_description` - Port description. Optional. - `snmp_enabled` - Boolean. Optional.

Defaults to 1. #### Examples Create a TCP/IP printer port named 'IP_10.4.64.37' with all defaults ```ruby windows_printer_port '10.4.64.37' do action :create end ``` Delete a printer port ```ruby windows_printer_port '10.4.64.37' do action :delete end ``` Delete a port with a custom port_name ```ruby windows_printer_port '10.4.64.38' do port_name 'My awesome port' action :delete end ``` Create a port with more options ```ruby windows_printer_port '10.4.64.39' do port_name 'My awesome port' snmp_enabled true port_protocol 2 end ``` ### windows_printer Create Windows printer. Note that this doesn't currently install a printer driver. You must already have the driver installed on the system. The Windows Printer LWRP will automatically create a TCP/IP printer port for you using the `ipv4_address` property. If you want more granular control over the printer port, just create it using the `windows_printer_port` LWRP before creating the printer. #### Actions - `:create` - Create a new printer - `:delete` - Delete a new printer #### Properties - `device_id` - Name attribute. Required. Printer queue name, e.g. 'HP LJ 5200 in fifth floor copy room' - `comment` - Optional string describing the printer queue. - `default` - Boolean. Optional. Defaults to false. Note that Windows sets the first printer defined to the default printer regardless of this setting. - `driver_name` - String. Required. Exact name of printer driver.

This resource provides a pure-ruby implementation for managing zip files. Be sure to use the `not_if` or `only_if` meta parameters to guard the resource for idempotence or action will be taken every Chef run. #### Actions - `:unzip` - unzip a compressed file - `:zip` - zip a directory (recursively) #### Properties - `path` - name attribute. The path where files will be (un)zipped to. - `source` - source of the zip file (either a URI or local path) for :unzip, or directory to be zipped for :zip. - `overwrite` - force an overwrite of the files if they already exist. - `checksum` - for :unzip, useful if source is remote, if the local file matches the SHA-256 checksum, Chef will not download it. #### Examples Unzip a remote zip file locally ```ruby windows_zipfile 'c:/bin' do source 'http://download.sysinternals.com/Files/SysinternalsSuite.zip' action :unzip not_if {::File.exists?('c:/bin/PsExec.exe')} end ``` Unzip a local zipfile ```ruby windows_zipfile 'c:/the_codez' do source 'c:/foo/baz/the_codez.zip' action :unzip end ``` Create a local zipfile ```ruby windows_zipfile 'c:/foo/baz/the_codez.zip' do source 'c:/the_codez' action :zip end ``` ## Libraries ### WindowsHelper Helper that allows you to use helpful functions in windows #### installed_packages Returns a hash of all DisplayNames installed ```ruby # usage in a recipe ::Chef::Recipe.send(:include, Windows::Helper) hash_of_installed_packages = installed_packages ``` #### is_package_installed? - `package_name` - The name of the package you want to query to see if it is installed - `returns` - true if the package is installed, false if it the package is not installed Download a file if a package isn't installed ```ruby # usage in a recipe to not download a file if package is already installed ::Chef::Recipe.send(:include, Windows::Helper) is_win_sdk_installed = is_package_installed?('Windows Software Development Kit') remote_file 'C:\windows\temp\windows_sdk.zip' do source 'http://url_to_download/windows_sdk.zip' action :create_if_missing not_if {is_win_sdk_installed} end ``` Do something if a package is installed ```ruby # usage in a provider include Windows::Helper if is_package_installed?('Windows Software Development Kit') # do something if package is installed end ``` ### Windows::VersionHelper Helper that allows you to get information of the windows version running on your node. It leverages windows ohai from kernel.os_info, easy to mock and to use even on linux. #### core_version? Determines whether given node is running on a windows Core. ```ruby if ::Windows::VersionHelper.core_version? node fail 'Windows Core is not supported' end ``` #### workstation_version? Determines whether given node is a windows workstation version (XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10) ```ruby if ::Windows::VersionHelper.workstation_version? node fail 'Only server version of windows are supported' end ``` #### server_version? Determines whether given node is a windows server version (Server 2003, Server 2008, Server 2012, Server 2016) ```ruby if ::Windows::VersionHelper.server_version? node puts 'Server version of windows are cool' end ``` #### nt_version Determines NT version of the given node ```ruby case ::Windows::VersionHelper.nt_version node when '6.0' then 'Windows vista or Server 2008' when '6.1' then 'Windows 7 or Server 2008R2' when '6.2' then 'Windows 8 or Server 2012' when '6.3' then 'Windows 8.1 or Server 2012R2' when '10.0' then 'Windows 10' end ``` ## Windows ChefSpec Matchers The Windows cookbook includes custom [ChefSpec](https://github.com/sethvargo/chefspec) matchers you can use to test your own cookbooks that consume Windows cookbook LWRPs. ### Example Matcher Usage ```ruby expect(chef_run).to install_windows_package('Node.js').with( source: 'http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.26/x64/node-v0.10.26-x64.msi') ``` ### Windows Cookbook Matchers - create_windows_auto_run - remove_windows_auto_run - create_windows_certificate - delete_windows_certificate - add_acl_to_windows_certificate - create_windows_certificate_binding - delete_windows_certificate_binding - install_windows_feature - install_windows_feature_dism - install_windows_feature_servermanagercmd - install_windows_feature_powershell - remove_windows_feature - remove_windows_feature_dism - remove_windows_feature_servermanagercmd - remove_windows_feature_powershell - delete_windows_feature - delete_windows_feature_dism - delete_windows_feature_powershell - install_windows_font - create_windows_http_acl - delete_windows_http_acl - install_windows_package - remove_windows_package - set_windows_pagefile - add_windows_path - remove_windows_path - create_windows_printer - delete_windows_printer - create_windows_printer_port - delete_windows_printer_port - create_windows_shortcut - create_windows_shortcut - create_windows_task - disable_windows_task - enable_windows_task - delete_windows_task - run_windows_task - change_windows_task - unzip_windows_zipfile_to - zip_windows_zipfile_to ## Usage Place an explicit dependency on this cookbook (using depends in the cookbook's metadata.rb) from any cookbook where you would like to use the Windows-specific resources/providers that ship with this cookbook. ```ruby depends 'windows' ``` ## License & Authors - Author:: Seth Chisamore ([schisamo@chef.io](mailto:schisamo@chef.io)) - Author:: Doug MacEachern ([dougm@vmware.com](mailto:dougm@vmware.com)) - Author:: Paul Morton ([pmorton@biaprotect.com](mailto:pmorton@biaprotect.com)) - Author:: Doug Ireton ([doug.ireton@nordstrom.com](mailto:doug.ireton@nordstrom.com)) ```text Copyright 2011-2016, Chef Software, Inc.
