# 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) - Windows Server 2016 ### Chef - Chef 14.7+ ## Resources ### windows_certificate_binding Binds a certificate to an HTTP port 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). One of: - IP v4 address `1.2.3.4` - IP v6 address `[::1]` - Host name `www.foo.com` - `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 (Personal) - CA (Intermediate Certification Authorities) - ROOT (Trusted Root Certification Authorities) - TRUSTEDPUBLISHER (Trusted Publishers) - CLIENTAUTHISSUER (Client Authentication Issuers) - REMOTE DESKTOP (Remote Desktop) - TRUSTEDDEVICES (Trusted Devices) - WEBHOSTING (Web Hosting) - AUTHROOT (Third-Party Root Certification Authorities) - TRUSTEDPEOPLE (Trusted People) - SMARTCARDROOT (Smart Card Trusted Roots) - TRUST (Enterprise Trust) #### 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_dns `Note`: This resource is now included in Chef 15 and later. If you are using newer versions of [windows](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/powershell/configuration-in-a-devops-world-windows-powershell-desired-state-configuration/) then should use the core [resource](https://github.com/chef/chef/blob/master/RELEASE_NOTES.md#windows_dns_record-resource) instead of windows_dns. Configures A and CNAME records in Windows DNS. This requires the DNSCMD to be installed, which is done by adding the DNS role to the server or installing the Remote Server Admin Tools. #### Actions - :create: creates/updates the DNS entry - :delete: deletes the DNS entry #### Properties - host_name: name attribute. FQDN of the entry to act on. - dns_server: the DNS server to update. Default is local machine (.) - record_type: the type of record to create. One of A (default) or CNAME - target: for A records an array of IP addresses to associate with the host; for CNAME records the FQDN of the host to alias - ttl: if > 0 then set the time to live of the record #### Examples ```ruby # Create A record linked to 2 addresses with a 10 minute ttl windows_dns "m1.chef.test" do target ['10.9.8.7', '1.2.3.4'] ttl 600 end ``` ```ruby # Delete records. target is mandatory although not used windows_dns "m1.chef.test" do action :delete target [] end ``` ```ruby # Set an alias against the node in a role nodes = search( :node, "role:my_service" ) windows_dns "myservice.chef.test" do record_type 'CNAME' target nodes[0]['fqdn'] end ``` ### 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. If you receive a parameter error your user may not exist. #### 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_schannel Used to configure the schannel security settings in windows, this is used by dotnet apps and PowerShell to be able to speak to tls 1.2 endpoints #### Actions - `configure`: Configures the setting #### Properties property | type | default | description ------------------------ | ---------- | ------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- `use_strong_crypto` | True, False | true | Enables or disables the setting ### windows_user_privilege Adds the `principal` (User/Group) to the specified privileges (such as `Logon as a batch job` or `Logon as a Service`). #### Actions - `:add` - add the specified privileges to the `principal` - `:remove` - remove the specified privilege of the `principal` #### Properties - `principal` - Name attribute, Required, String. The user or group to be granted privileges. - `privilege` - Required, String/Array. The privilege(s) to be granted. #### Examples Grant the Administrator user the `Logon as a batch job` and `Logon as a service` privilege. ```ruby windows_user_privilege 'Administrator' do privilege %w(SeBatchLogonRight SeServiceLogonRight) end ``` Remove `Logon as a batch job` privilege of Administrator. ```ruby windows_user_privilege 'Administrator' do privilege %w(SeBatchLogonRight) action :remove end ``` #### Available Privileges ``` SeTrustedCredManAccessPrivilege Access Credential Manager as a trusted caller SeNetworkLogonRight Access this computer from the network SeTcbPrivilege Act as part of the operating system SeMachineAccountPrivilege Add workstations to domain SeIncreaseQuotaPrivilege Adjust memory quotas for a process SeInteractiveLogonRight Allow log on locally SeRemoteInteractiveLogonRight Allow log on through Remote Desktop Services SeBackupPrivilege Back up files and directories SeChangeNotifyPrivilege Bypass traverse checking SeSystemtimePrivilege Change the system time SeTimeZonePrivilege Change the time zone SeCreatePagefilePrivilege Create a pagefile SeCreateTokenPrivilege Create a token object SeCreateGlobalPrivilege Create global objects SeCreatePermanentPrivilege Create permanent shared objects SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege Create symbolic links SeDebugPrivilege Debug programs SeDenyNetworkLogonRight Deny access this computer from the network SeDenyBatchLogonRight Deny log on as a batch job SeDenyServiceLogonRight Deny log on as a service SeDenyInteractiveLogonRight Deny log on locally SeDenyRemoteInteractiveLogonRight Deny log on through Remote Desktop Services SeEnableDelegationPrivilege Enable computer and user accounts to be trusted for delegation SeRemoteShutdownPrivilege Force shutdown from a remote system SeAuditPrivilege Generate security audits SeImpersonatePrivilege Impersonate a client after authentication SeIncreaseWorkingSetPrivilege Increase a process working set SeIncreaseBasePriorityPrivilege Increase scheduling priority SeLoadDriverPrivilege Load and unload device drivers SeLockMemoryPrivilege Lock pages in memory SeBatchLogonRight Log on as a batch job SeServiceLogonRight Log on as a service SeSecurityPrivilege Manage auditing and security log SeRelabelPrivilege Modify an object label SeSystemEnvironmentPrivilege Modify firmware environment values SeManageVolumePrivilege Perform volume maintenance tasks SeProfileSingleProcessPrivilege Profile single process SeSystemProfilePrivilege Profile system performance SeUnsolicitedInputPrivilege "Read unsolicited input from a terminal device" SeUndockPrivilege Remove computer from docking station SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege Replace a process level token SeRestorePrivilege Restore files and directories SeShutdownPrivilege Shut down the system SeSyncAgentPrivilege Synchronize directory service data SeTakeOwnershipPrivilege Take ownership of files or other objects ``` ### windows_zipfile `Note`: This resource has been deprecated as Chef Infra Client 15.0 shipped with a new archive_file resource, which natively handles multiple archive formats. Please update any cookbooks using this resource to instead use the `archive_file` resource: https://docs.chef.io/resource_archive_file.html Most versions of Windows do not ship with native cli utility for managing compressed files. 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 on 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 the 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 the 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 the 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 ``` ## 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 2011-2018, Chef Software, Inc.
