Hi,
Dalmiro referred me to this site via Twitter, so here I am. I hope that someone can assist me.
I’m using PowerShell DSC to install and uninstall Tentacle on servers.
To install it:
configuration OctopusDeployTentacleConfiguration {
param (
[parameter(Mandatory=$true,Position=1)][string[]]$ComputerName,
[parameter(Mandatory=$true,Position=2)][ValidateSet(‘Development’,‘Test’,‘Acceptation’,‘Production’)]$Environment
)
Import-DscResource -ModuleName OctopusDSC
Node $ComputerName {
File OctopusDeployTentacle {
DestinationPath = 'c:\Octopus\Tentacle.msi’
Ensure = 'Present’
Type = 'File’
Force = $true
SourcePath = '\dscdc1\dsc\OctopusDeploy\OctopusTentacle\Octopus.Tentacle.2.5.8.447-x64.msi’
DependsOn = “[File]DefaultApplicationDirectory”
}
File OctopusDeployTentacleOriginalName {
DestinationPath = 'c:\Octopus\Octopus.Tentacle.2.5.8.447-x64.msi’
Ensure = 'Present’
Type = 'File’
Force = $true
SourcePath = '\dscdc1\dsc\OctopusDeploy\OctopusTentacle\Octopus.Tentacle.2.5.8.447-x64.msi’
DependsOn = “[File]DefaultApplicationDirectory”
}
cTentacleAgent OctopusDeployTentacleConfiguration {
Ensure = "Present"
State = "Started"
Name = "Tentacle"
ApiKey = “4F17735C3A8FEFB12E367BD684B484715E0029ED"
OctopusServerUrl = “http://DSCDC1.LAN/“
Environments = @(”$Environment”)
Roles = @(“Web-Server”)
ListenPort = 10933
DefaultApplicationDirectory = “C:\Octopus\Applications"
DependsOn = “[File]OctopusDeployTentacle”,”[File]OctopusDeployTentacleOriginalName”
}
}
}
OctopusDeployTentacleConfiguration -ComputerName ‘SRV01’ -OutputPath ‘C:\Staging\OctopusDeployTentacleConfiguration’ -Environment 'Development’
Start-DscConfiguration -Path ‘C:\dsc\Staging\OctopusDeployTentacleConfiguration’ -Wait -Verbose -Force
So far so good, install works just fine (although I’m not seeing the tentacle in the mgmt console of Octopus).
I uninstall tentacle via:
configuration OctopusDeployTentacle {
param (
[string[]]$ComputerName = ‘localhost’
)
Node $ComputerName {
Package OctopusDeployTentacle {
Name = 'Octopus Deploy Tentacle’
Ensure = 'Absent’
Path = '\dscdc1\dsc\OctopusDeploy\OctopusTentacle\Octopus.Tentacle.2.5.8.447-x64.msi’
Arguments = "/q"
ProductId = ‘44CE5578-8416-466E-85B9-5ABD3C68B060’
}
}
}
OctopusDeployTentacle -OutputPath ‘C:\dsc\Staging\OctopusDeployTentacle’ -ComputerName 'SRV01’
Start-DscConfiguration -Path ‘C:\dsc\Staging\OctopusDeployTentacle’ -Wait -Force -Verbose
Again, so far so good (although there are some leftovers in %ProgramFiles% … forgot to include that in the MSI for removal?).
Now, when I re-install Tentacle via the DSC configuration above, I get an error I just can’t seem to get around next to re-installing both Octopus Server and the entire VM where Tentacle resides:

The PowerShell DSC resource cTentacleAgent threw one or more non-terminating errors while running the Set-TargetResource functionality. These
errors are logged to the ETW channel called Microsoft-Windows-DSC/Operational. Refer to this channel for more details.

VERBOSE: Operation ‘Invoke CimMethod’ complete.

So in fact the MSI installation fails, nothing is installed whatsoever.
The Windows eventlog doesn’t say anything useful except for that a non-terminating error occurred in Set-TargetResource.
Both servers are member of the same domain, I’m using AD integration and made the domain administrator account the Octopus Deploy administrator. This account is local administrator on all my servers (Windows Server 2012 R2).
I’m kinda at a loss here… any and all assistance is appreciated
Jeff.
