The world has changed since I started out on a help desk in Colorado 25 years ago. In those long ago years, a company’s desktop machines actually lived under the desks of many in the organization (and often doubled as a foot warmer!) and configuration was done machine by machine manually, or maybe even by some script that was created to run at login if we were lucky. If there were laptops in use by the business users, they were a lot less mobile and rarer than in today’s business world...

Taking the Puppet automation capabilities from the data center and extending it into the end-user machines has been a natural fit for Puppet.

Whether the business concerns are compliance adherence, configuration consistency, reduction of security risks, or all three, our ability to enforce these requirements with Puppet on MacOS, Linux, or Windows means you can succeed in end-user machine configuration, security, and compliance enforcement.
