Has anyone worked on a module for handling Windows OS hotfixes? These are the hotfixes you have to run outside of WSUS. There are two types of these which have to be supported - "always" installed and "optional". The always installed I'm working on handling with some PowerShell checks and "unless" statements. The optional ones are trickier because they only apply if pre-reqs are met (i.e. clustering service is present). Problem is on Windows interactive I could run a batch file and pick up return codes to determine nothing is applicable but I don't want this running this way on Puppet every 30 minutes (even during a maintenance window).
