Escape the inside double quotes:
$ cat /tmp/2.pp
notice("\"this is quoted\"")
notice("this is not quoted")
$ puppet apply /tmp/2.pp
notice: Scope(Class[main]): "this is quoted"
notice: Scope(Class[main]): this is not quoted

Better, if you're using the literal:
exec { '/opt/pbis/bin/config UserDomainPrefix "" ': }
But you'd save yourself the trouble by emplacing a shell script and running
that.
