That particular message is what ruby on windows displays when it can't
resolve the hostname.

Prior to 2.7.12, when puppet ran as as a privileged user that was not an
explicit member of the local Administrators group, e.g. LocalSystem, puppet
thought it was running in a non-privileged context. As a result, it would
store its data in the %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\.puppet directory. However,
that bug (http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/10299) was fixed in 2.7.12,
so it will now store its data in the CommonAppData folder.

On 2003, the CommonAppData is typically c:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\ApplicationData. On 2008, it is typically C:\ProgramData. And
Puppet's data directory is stored within there, e.g. C:\Documents and
Settings\All Users\ApplicationData\PuppetLabs\puppet\etc\puppet.conf. Note
on 2008, the C:\ProgramData directory is hidden by default. See
