Issue #10955 has been updated by Mark Johnston.
I ran into this same problem on my XP box, although the command did eventually
finish after close to a minute. I think I've tracked it down to
puppet/util/suidmanager.rb. On Windows, suidmanager.rb calls
Sys::Admin.get_group() like so:
group = Sys::Admin.get_group("Administrators", :sid =>
Win32::Security::SID::BuiltinAdministrators)
This call takes 30-40 seconds, because I'm on a big AD domain at a remote
office. I changed it to say:
group = Sys::Admin.get_group("Administrators", :sid =>
Win32::Security::SID::BuiltinAdministrators, :domain => Facter.value(:hostname))
This runs a lot quicker (typically 1-5 sec), and I think it's more correct
anyway - the question is "are we an admin on this machine", not "are we a
domain admin". This resolves the apparent hang for me. I'm curious whether
Jeff is on a big domain too.

Bug #10955: Puppet agent hangs on Windows XP
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/10955#change-55856
Author: Jeff Sussna
Status: Investigating
Priority: Normal

Affected Puppet version:

Branch:
Followed the Windows puppet agent install instructions
(http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/1/wiki/Puppet_Windows) very carefully.
Verified I'm running the correct version of ruby. All install steps completed
without errors. Did install and am running as local account, not admin.
Any puppet command (i.e., "puppet config print all") hangs. .puppet directory
was not created. Tried creating it by hand, along with
.puppet\Puppetlabs\puppet\etc and puppet.conf file. Not sure what needs to go
in puppet.conf other than server=.
OS is Windows XP SP3.
