Thanks Juan. Couple of questions on your reply.
1. In my case would it be the following: command => "powershell.exe
-ExecutionPolicy ByPass -File file.ps1 ${dnsforwarders}" # or does this
need to be adjusted?
2. How do i do the same with the fact that I am using templates, and
thus they are stored on Puppet and passed to the server. I am not storing
the powershell files on the agent server. Is there a way to do something
like the following:
command => template ($forwarder_execute) ${Param1}, #
