If all your batch script does is tweak some registry settings, I would
suggest ditching batch files entirely and use the puppetlabs-registry
module instead.
That said, it is likely that your script is not being executed at all
because you need to escape backslashes in paths, e.g.
command => "cmd.exe /c c:\\temp\\sageset.bat",
Because backslashes are escape characters, the path is being flattened
to "c:tempsageset.bat" which clearly doesn't exist; escaping the
backslashes will resolve that.
But using the registry module is much better, and you should do that to
avoid much sadness.

Hello, all.
I'm trying to execute the following batch file (sageset.bat) on Win2k8
servers:
@ECHO OFF

It makes changes to registry settings so that the disk cleanup utility
will do a more thorough job of cleanup. It's the equivalent of
running "cleanmgr /d c: /sageset:100", which opens a dialog box that
presents a list of files to clean that one can check.
The following is in my manifest:
exec { 'sageset.bat':
path => $::path,
command => "cmd.exe /c c:\temp\sageset.bat",
provider => windows,
logoutput => true,
}
The results of the manifest run are that everything executed
successfully. However, if I run "cleanmgr /d c: /sageset:100" after
that, none of the boxes is checked. Running the batch file in a
Windows CLI does work, and if I run "cleanmgr /d c: /sageset:100"
after that, all of the boxes are checked.
Why am I not getting this to work?
