@greno95 I created the video some time ago so I can't quite remember.
The video shows the installation on two freshly installed ubuntu machines, so what ever is shown in the video is all that was done. There is no smoke and mirrors or video trickery going on (I'm not that smart with video software) what you see is what happened from start to finish.
The installation was done on two Ubuntu 8.05 machines so later versions of the distro may vary :-/
No problem. I've used puppet with LDAP a while back but found it limiting as soon as you want to try anything tricky (which doesn't take long with puppet because it is very flexible). I can't remember the exact limitation I ran into but it would have required writing custom ldap schema's for something I could have otherwise defined in LDAP without going to such effort.
I got a puppet enviroment setup as well but my ultimate goal is to have puppet do ldap lookups for puppet attributes and based on puppetclient attribute i want specify which nodes get what modules. Nice video, I like it lots!!
thanks !!

Did you start puppetmaster before run puppet --test?

Best of luck and thanks for the comments ;-)

Sorry was supposed to say "defined in a manifest without going to so much effort".

also on the puppet client i like to use puppetd -t -noops for a test run without any config files being deployed.
