The exec resource requires that command be an absolute path or that you
specify the path parameter to resolve the executable. Since %windir% can
vary across Windows agents, the easiest thing is to do use the agent's path
fact:
exec { 'cmd /c echo hello':
path => $::path,
logoutput => true
}
Also note that I didn't specify a '.exe' extension. Puppet uses both the
%PATH% and %PATHEXT% environment variables to resolve the executable. Or
course, you can specify the extension if you want, e.g. cmd.exe /c echo
hello.
