Issue #6693 has been updated by Markus Roberts.
The problem (as mentioned on the linked page) is that there is presently not a user/group provider for MS Windows. The provider which had been initially proposed required additional tooling on top of the base MS Windows installation (and apparently would have required an additional license for each node!). If anyone has knowledge of standard, out-of-the-box non-GUI tooling for managing users & groups on MS Windows (e,g, command line utilities for adding, deleting users, etc. that aren't horribly MS-windows-version dependent) that would help move this forward. ---------------------------------------- Bug #6693: Windows Error message: Could not create resources for managing Puppet's files and directories in sections [:main, :agent, :ssl]: Could not find a default provider for user https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/6693 Author: T.J.
