Hi

Play with this :

https://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/ref/states/all/salt.states.win_lgpo.html

If you have windows minions and set it to run every 30/60/90 mins, and BAM you have AD without MS BS

While you can use salt grains to target OSes, I like to diffrentiate them with good naming system:

WIN.001
LIN.001
SRV.001

You might ask how to differentiate between windows SRV and Linux SRV, well frankly my dear i dont give damn, and i dont run Windows servers.

Dont' use bullet/number lists in instructions and guides like this. it makes it annoying for those that want to copy and paste.

This guide is assuming that you are running as root. If not prepend everything here with sudo.

Install the salt-master package dnf install salt-master Open the required ports in the firewall firewall-cmd --add-port=4505-4506/tcp --permanent firewall-cmd --reload Enable the salt-master service to start on boow, and also start it now. systemctl enable --now salt-master.service

@black3dynamite said in Salt - Can't Connect to Minions After Adding Them to Master:

I sometimes have to add --timeout 60 so I can see a response
salt FP01.domain.local test.ping --timeout 60

Seems to be working. I think that it was the firewall needing the exception AND using the

--timeout 60

Thanks!

And really, all I'm looking for is a convenient way setup my user workstations, and update them without the Apple overhead, including with brew commands.

This is my ML How Tos are better 🙂

I looked but didn't find one that was current.

Yeah, not sure that there is one. On Fedora 28 it was broken. On Fedora 30 I think it is just "dnf install salt-master -y" and you are done. So nothing to write up.

I think we are running Salt on Ubuntu now because of the breakage issues on Fedora.

So forget my comments. It turned out maybe your instructions are fine. (Maybe, maybe not. I don't know, but will reinstall using your instructions again just to verify.) My problem was that I was opening up the firewall ports in the wrong zone. The default Install I used made only 1 zone on the master called "FedoraServer." Opening ports on this zone solved the issue. See this post from this morning: https://mangolassi.it/topic/15620/salt-stack-communication-issues/2

@dgingerich @scottalanmiller sorry for the delay in a response from me. Working on a sev-1 at work at the moment so I'm only sporadically available. I'll be sure to take a look at this later when either the sev-1 clears up or my day is over.
