Issue #10299 has been updated by Jeff McCune.
# Impact Data #
I think this work may be a blocker for #11696 as I just ran into this in my
investigation planning and scoping work for the PE Windows Installer.
Here's what I found:

Bug #10299: Puppet.features.root? doesn't return true when running under as
SYSTEM on Windows
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/10299
Author: Josh Cooper
Status: Accepted
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Josh Cooper
Category: windows
Target version: 2.7.x
Affected Puppet version: 2.7.4
Keywords:
Branch:
On Windows, the SYSTEM (aka LocalSystem) account is not a member of the local
Administrators group, so Puppet.features.root? returns false, when it should
return true. This results in two issues, first puppet agent can't find it's
Puppet::Util::RunMode#conf_dir, which points to the location of its
configuration file. Second, the agent will raise an error when attempting to
set owner, group, etc.
