Installs/Configures PowerShell on the Windows platform
cookbook 'powershell', '= 2.0.0', :supermarket
knife supermarket install powershell
knife supermarket download powershell
powershell cookbook
Installs and configures PowerShell 2.0. Also includes a resource/provider for executing scripts using the PowerShell interpreter.
Requirements
Platforms
- Windows XP
- Windows Server 2003 (R1, R2)
- Windows Vista
- Windows 7
- Windows Server 2008 (R1, R2)
Resource/Provider
powershell
Execute a script using the powershell interpreter (much like the script resources for bash, csh, perl, python and ruby). A temporary file is created and executed like other script resources, rather than run inline. By their nature, Script resources are not idempotent, as they are completely up to the user's imagination. Use the not_if or only_if meta parameters to guard the resource for idempotence.
Actions
- :run: run the script
Attribute Parameters
- command: name attribute. Name of the command to execute.
- code: quoted string of code to execute.
- creates: a file this command creates - if the file exists, the command will not be run.
- cwd: current working directory to run the command from.
- flags: command line flags to pass to the interpreter when invoking.
- environment: A hash of environment variables to set before running this command.
- user: A user name or user ID that we should change to before running this command.
- group: A group name or group ID that we should change to before running this command.
- returns: The return value of the command (may be an array of accepted values) - this resource raises an exception if the return value(s) do not match.
- timeout: How many seconds to let the command run before timing it out.
Examples
# change the computer's hostname powershell "rename hostname" do code <<-EOH $computer_name = Get-Content env:computername $new_name = 'test-hostname' $sysInfo = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_ComputerSystem $sysInfo.Rename($new_name) EOH end
# write out to an interpolated path powershell "write-to-interpolated-path" do code <<-EOH $stream = [System.IO.StreamWriter] "#{Chef::Config[:file_cache_path]}/powershell-test.txt" $stream.WriteLine("In #{Chef::Config[:file_cache_path]}...word.") $stream.close() EOH end
# use the change working directory attribute powershell "cwd-then-write" do cwd Chef::Config[:file_cache_path] code <<-EOH $stream = [System.IO.StreamWriter] "C:/powershell-test2.txt" $pwd = pwd $stream.WriteLine("This is the contents of: $pwd") $dirs = dir foreach ($dir in $dirs) { $stream.WriteLine($dir.fullname) } $stream.close() EOH end
# cwd to a winodws env variable powershell "cwd-to-win-env-var" do cwd ENV['TEMP'] code <<-EOH $stream = [System.IO.StreamWriter] "./temp-write-from-chef.txt" $stream.WriteLine("chef on windows rox yo!") $stream.close() EOH end
# pass an env var to script powershell "read-env-var" do cwd Chef::Config[:file_cache_path] environment ({'foo' => 'BAZ'}) code <<-EOH $stream = [System.IO.StreamWriter] "./test-read-env-var.txt" $stream.WriteLine("FOO is $env:foo") $stream.close() EOH end
Mixin
Chef::Mixin::PowershellOut
Mixin to execute powershell commands during compile time. Most useful if needing powershell to drive LWRP behavior
Parameters
- script: The powershell code to execute
- options: The options hash to drive execution behavior. Same options available as in shell_out, with the addition of :architecture, which allows you to override the default architecture. Essentially allows you to run 32-bit powershell in 64-bit windows.
Example
The following illustrates using options to require 32-bit AND run as a different user
# check if a user is a member of local admins include Chef::Mixin::PowershellOut script =<<-EOF $user = [Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent() (New-Object Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal $user).IsInRole([Security.Principal.WindowsBuiltinRole]::Administrator) EOF cmd = powershell_out(script, {architecture: :i386, user: "vagrant", password: "vagrant"}) Chef::Log.info(cmd.stdout)
Usage
default
Include the default recipe in a run list, to ensure PowerShell 2.0 is installed.
On the following versions of Windows the PowerShell 2.0 package will be downloaded from Microsoft and installed:
- Windows XP
- Windows Server 2003
- Windows Server 2008 R1
- Windows Vista
On the following versions of Windows, PowerShell 2.0 is present and must just be enabled:
- Windows 7
- Windows Server 2008 R2
- Windows Server 2008 R2 Core
PLEASE NOTE - The installation may require a restart of the node being configured before PowerShell (or the powershell script resource) can be used (yeah Windows!).
