Issue with configure recipe

[rstra]

I am configuring a WSUS replica that points to an upstream master which I configured by hand. I have been able to run everything but the following "unless" is not letting the configuration take place.

unless server_conf['master_server'] || server_conf['properties']['IsReplicaServer']

I have the attributes in another cookbook with override, and the configure.rb looks like this:
override['wsus_server']['configuration']['proxy_password'] = nil
override['wsus_server']['configuration']['update_languages'] = ['en']
override['wsus_server']['configuration']['master_server'] = 'https://MYWSUSSERVER:8531'
override['wsus_server']['configuration']['properties'] = { }
override['wsus_server']['configuration']['properties']['TargetingMode'] = 'Client'

override['wsus_server']['subscription']['automatic_synchronization'] = true
override['wsus_server']['subscription']['categories'] = []
override['wsus_server']['subscription']['classifications'] = []
override['wsus_server']['subscription']['properties'] = {}
override['wsus_server']['subscription']['synchronization_per_day'] = 1
override['wsus_server']['subscription']['synchronization_time'] = '00:00:00'
override['wsus_server']['subscription']['synchronize_categories'] = false
override['wsus_server']['subscription']['configure_timeout'] = 900

override['wsus_server']['notification']['enable_sync_notification'] = false
override['wsus_server']['notification']['enable_smtp_authentication'] = false
override['wsus_server']['notification']['enable_status_notification'] = false
override['wsus_server']['notification']['language'] = 'en'
override['wsus_server']['notification']['properties'] = {}
override['wsus_server']['notification']['sender_address'] = nil
override['wsus_server']['notification']['sender_name'] = nil
override['wsus_server']['notification']['smtp_host'] = nil
override['wsus_server']['notification']['smtp_password'] = nil
override['wsus_server']['notification']['smtp_port'] = 25
override['wsus_server']['notification']['smtp_user'] = nil
override['wsus_server']['notification']['status_notification_frequency'] = 'Daily'
`override['wsus_server']['notification']['status_notification_time'] = '00:00:00'``

When I change the override['wsus_server']['configuration']['master_server'] to nil the configuration can run, but then I do not have an upstream server specified.

Hello @rstra

Let's clarify a bit the situation, if I understand your setup, you have:

• a WSUS master server not configured via chef
• a replica that you tried to configure via chef.

About the "issue" what happens when you set wsus_server.configuration.master_server to a non-nil value? Do you have an error or nothing is configured?

What is the runlist of your node? Are you sure your "override cookbook" is taken into account?

Regards!

If I set the master server equal to something ( https://myserver.test.com:8531), then it will configure the WSUS server properly. My new server will be pointing to https://myserver.test.com:8531 and it is set as a replica, but it will now run the synchronization configuration. The problem is with the unless on line 33 of configure.rb. (Since the server gets configured correctly until this point, I know it is using the override attributes.) If I remove the master server from the attributes, it will configure the WSUS server and set the sync properties, but it will not point the WSUS server to an upstream one. ds

My new server will be pointing to https://myserver.test.com:8531
and it is set as a replica, but it will now run the synchronization
configuration.

Did you mean it will not run the synchronization?

The unless in L33 in configure.rb is here to not perform subscription and notification configuration in case of replica. To use the same configuration as the master.
Do you want to have a different subscription configuration?

@rstra any news?
