It is my understanding that a Rudder server serving Windows nodes needs a "CFEngine Enterprise" cf-serverd running, and that that cf-serverd has a hardcoded path to /var/cfengine/inputs in it. That is why this directory is created and populated.

Is my understanding wrong? If so, what promises does the CFEngine Enterprise cf-serverd read, and how do we tell it which directory/file to read from?

When we install the Enterprise agent, we put the initial promises in /var/cfengine/inputs (that's part of the install script)
Once the inventory as been generated, promises in this folder are generated there by the web interface

Maybe the init script of the Enterprise agent could be simply to copy initial promises from /opt/rudder/share/initial-promises ; but always having the promises in /var/cfengine/inputs is pretty confusing

So in fact, the part for the inventory message was corrected in ticket #9327. I'm changing back the ticket.
