The double quotes around the command's second argument are being
interpreted as the end of the resource title. The easiest solution is
probably to switch the outer quotes to single:
exec { '/opt/pbis/bin/config UserDomainPrefix "" ' : }
Indeed, it's a good idea to make a habit of using single quotes instead of
double quotes in your Puppet manifests, except where you have specific
reason to do otherwise (such as when you want to interpolate a variable
into your string). Alternatively, you should also be able to escape the
internal double quotes with backslashes:
exec { "/opt/pbis/bin/config UserDomainPrefix \"\" " : }
