Puppet Module to run a custom PowerShell script.

This Puppet Module will attempt to run a custom PowerShell script within a new PowerShell process in order to preserve the parent process privileges.

class webserverpostdeploymentscripts {
 if $osfamily == 'windows' {
 $wsrpsscriptfile = 'restart-website.ps1'
 $powershellexe = 'C:/Windows/System32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0/powershell.exe'
 $wsrpsscriptpath = "C:/Windows/Temp/${wsrpsscriptfile}"

 file { 'restart-psscript':
 path => $wsrpsscriptpath,
 ensure => "file",
 source => "puppet:///files/$wsrpsscriptfile"
 } ->
 exec { 'restart-website':
 command => "start-process -verb runas $powershellexe -argumentlist '-file ${wsrpsscriptpath}'",
 provider => "powershell"
 }
 }
}
